[Verse 1]
Been walking that hard road
Boots full of red dust
Every loss left a mark
Still I rise with it
Hands shook, heart stayed lit
I carried the weight
Now I look at that wall
And I don't hesitate
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't bow low
I won't fake clean
Pride in the mirror
But I'm not that machine
Take me to the edge
I can see the line
If I fall, let me fall
With my face to the sky
[Chorus]
Take the leap, take the leap
I don't need a net
Take the leap, take the leap
Watch me earn my breath
Ego check, ego check
Cut it down to size
Take the leap, take the leap
I'm alive, I'm alive
[Verse 2]
I was built from the bruises
The long nights and strain
Every "can't" got buried
Every scar got a name
I used to grip my own throne
Like I owned that air
Now I know real power
Is letting it tear
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't bow low
I won't fake clean
Pride in the mirror
But I'm not that machine
Take me to the edge
I can see the line
If I fall, let me fall
With my face to the sky
[Chorus]
Take the leap, take the leap
I don't need a net
Take the leap, take the leap
Watch me earn my breath
Ego check, ego check
Cut it down to size
Take the leap, take the leap
I'm alive, I'm alive
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
Strip the crown off my head
Let the truth come in
I can burn that old skin
And still begin
No more hiding my fear
No more feeding the ache
If I break in the dark
That's the price I pay
[Final Chorus]
Take the leap, take the leap
I don't need a net
Take the leap, take the leap
Watch me earn my breath
Ego check, ego check
Cut it down to size
Take the leap, take the leap
I'm alive, I'm alive
Take the leap, take the leap
I don't need a net
Take the leap, take the leap
Watch me earn my breath
Ego check, ego check
Cut it down to size
Take the leap, take the leap
I'm alive, I'm alive
