Staying the Course

Verse 1  
These last few days I’ve been walking  
on a wire between two worlds—  
one where I repeat my patterns,  
one where something higher stirs.  
Old temptations call my name,  
same decisions, same escape,  
but my higher self keeps saying,  
“Don’t go back to what you prayed to break.”
Pre-Chorus  
It reminds me, “You’re not stuck here,  
you’re just close to breaking through.  
When the cycle feels the strongest,  
that’s the moment it fears you.”
Chorus  
I am staying the course  
when everything in me wants to run.  
I am holding my line  
when old stories tell me I’m done.  
I won’t chase the little highs  
that always cost me so much more,  
I will breathe and see the long game—  
I was made for something more.  
I don’t need to see the map  
to know I’m guided by this force;  
even in the lows and highs,  
I am choosing  
staying the course.
Verse 2  
There’s a gravity to comfort  
that can feel like being safe,  
but it keeps me in a circle  
far from what is truly mine to taste.  
Ego whispers, “Take the shortcut,  
you deserve to feel okay,”  
but my soul shows me the future  
that I lose if I obey.
Pre-Chorus  
“Zoom out from this single moment,  
look beyond this passing ache—  
being shortsighted is expensive  
when your purpose is at stake.”
Chorus  
I am staying the course,  
even shaking in my skin.  
I am learning how to match  
my higher frequency within.  
When the urge to self‑sabotage  
tries to drag me to the floor,  
I remember why I started  
and I lock the higher door.  
I don’t have to fix it all,  
I just have to take one step forward—  
trusting that the unseen hand  
is still working in my favor.
Bridge  
Breaking cycles isn’t pretty,  
it’s a quiet, holy war—  
saying “no” to what once saved you  
so it can’t own you anymore.  
But on the other side of habit,  
on the other side of fear,  
is a version of your spirit  
that’s been waiting to appear.
Tag  
Higher self, keep me steady  
when my vision starts to blur,  
help me see the bigger picture  
and remember what I’m worth.
Final Chorus  
I am staying the course  
when the timing feels unknown.  
I am trusting that the seeds I’ve sown  
will one day call me “home.”  
I won’t measure by the panic,  
I’ll align with what is real—  
with the truth that even now  
everything is being healed.  
When I feel I’m losing grip,  
I will come back to this truth:  
it is all under control—  
and I am still  
staying the course.
Outro  
So if tomorrow looks the same,  
I’ll still walk this higher line,  
’cause the change is in my choosing,  
not just in the finish sign.
