[Verse 1]
I was born in the dust
With a cracked old name
Palm full of callus
Heart full of flame
Master said, “Breathe slow”
By the ink-black stream
Count each scar like stars
On the edge of a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
One step, then another
Past the thorn and frost
One breath, then surrender
Pay the soul it cost
Bones like willow branches
Still I will not bend
I can hear the mountain
Calling me again
[Chorus]
Break through, break through
Jade Meridian
Break through, break through
Let the skies begin
Nine heavens, hear me
I rise from the low
Break through, break through
Watch my spirit glow
[Verse 2]
Lanterns in the courtyard
Rain on the stone
Sweat on the palms
But I’m never alone
Every strike I learned
Had a ghost inside
Every wound I took
Was a door I had to find
[Pre-Chorus]
One step, then another
Past the thorn and frost
One breath, then surrender
Pay the soul it cost
Bones like willow branches
Still I will not bend
I can hear the mountain
Calling me again
[Chorus]
Break through, break through
Jade Meridian
Break through, break through
Let the skies begin
Nine heavens, hear me
I rise from the low
Break through, break through
Watch my spirit glow
[Bridge]
At the cliff of dawn
I left my fear below
Silver in my meridians
Fire in the flow
If the path is endless
I will walk it clean
Name me by my wounds
Then call me what I’ve been
[Final Chorus]
Break through, break through
Jade Meridian
Break through, break through
Let the skies begin
Nine heavens, hear me
I rise from the low
Break through, break through
Watch my spirit glow
Break through, break through
I am the road
Break through, break through
Heaven knows my code
