[Verse 1]
Got scars on my knees from the falls I took
Tired eyes
Late nights
Pages of a worn-out book
Every "no" in my face just sharpened my aim
I’ve been walking through the fire
Learning my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Every setback just a step I climb
Every bad day just a borrowed time
When the ground shakes
When I lose my way
I tell myself
I tell myself
[Chorus]
Don’t stop believing in progress
You’re only one step away
From the world that you keep chasing
Yeah
The one you dream awake
Life might knock you down hard
But you don’t have to stay
Work hard
Play hard
Breathe in
Be brave
It’s all gonna be okay today (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Got coffee on my shirt
Missed another train
Laughing through the chaos just to stay sane
Friends on the line saying
"You’ll be fine"
We’ve been turning little moments into bright signs
[Pre-Chorus]
Every heartbreak just a door to light
Every wrong turn just a longer sight
When it all feels like it’s too much weight
I tell myself
I tell myself
[Chorus]
Don’t stop believing in progress
You’re only one step away
From the world that you keep chasing
Yeah
The one you dream awake
Life might knock you down hard
But you don’t have to stay
Work hard
Play hard
Breathe in
Be brave
It’s all gonna be okay today
[Bridge]
One step forward
Even if it’s slow
One small promise
Only you will know
Lift your head up
Let the fear fall down
You’re closer now
You’re closer now (hey!)
[Chorus]
Don’t stop believing in progress
You’re only one step away
From the world that you keep chasing
Hold that dream and let it stay
Life might knock you down hard
But you’re rising anyway
Work hard
Play hard
Laugh through the pain
It’s all gonna be okay today
