[Verse 1]
I woke with a plan and a coffee-stained page
Took my old doubts and put them backstage
Got a little money, got a little nerve
Giving every good thing the room it deserves
[Pre-Chorus]
The road keeps calling, I know where it goes
Past every maybe, past every no
I traded the worry for something brand new
A wider horizon, a better view
[Chorus]
Freedom in my hands, sunshine on my face
Tonight we take the long way, set our own pace
Rising like a promise, steady and true
Goodbye to the version that never broke through
I got a dream, and I’m walking it proud
Victory sounds better when you say it out loud
[Verse 2]
I learned that a setback can sharpen the eye
A closed door can teach you which door to try
No need for a crown, no need for a show
Just clean shoes, clear thoughts, and somewhere to go
[Pre-Chorus]
The road keeps calling, I know where it goes
Past every maybe, past every no
With a little blues in the way that I sway
And a jazz-colored sunrise to start up the day
[Chorus]
Freedom in my hands, sunshine on my face
Tonight we take the long way, set our own pace
Rising like a promise, steady and true
Goodbye to the version that never broke through
I got a dream, and I’m walking it proud
Victory sounds better when you say it out loud
[Bridge]
If the world says wait, I’ll say watch me move
If the floor gets slick, I’ll find my groove
Money comes and goes, but the heart knows why
I’m rich in the moments I refuse to deny
[Final Chorus]
Freedom in my hands, sunshine on my face
Tonight we take the long way, set our own pace
Rising like a promise, steady and true
Goodbye to the version that never broke through
I got a dream, and I’m walking it proud
Victory sounds better when you say it out loud
[Outro]
The road is open, the morning is bright
Freedom feels easy when you choose it tonight
