[Intro]
I keep a small list folded in my coat
Not a wish list, more like places I can go
[Verse 1]
Bus card bent, two coins in the tray
Still made it to the room where the right words stayed
Mum said, "Take your time, don't borrow their pace"
So I learned every corner, put a name to the place
Notebook full of arrows, half a dozen plans
One hand on the door, one hand making a stand
They see the quiet first, think the quiet means small
I was measuring the ceiling, getting ready to call
[Chorus]
I don't need a loud room to know where I belong
I can carry my own weight, I can write my own song
If the road turns narrow, I'll be careful, not afraid
Made a little from the little, now I'm building what I made
[Verse 2]
Rain on the window, tea going cold
Friend sent one message: "You got this, don't fold"
So I showed up early with the fear in my sleeve
Left with a new key and a reason to believe
No polished story, no convenient excuse
Every wrong turn taught me what to refuse
I keep my promises in practical ways
Call back when I say I will, show up on the days
[Chorus]
I don't need a loud room to know where I belong
I can carry my own weight, I can write my own song
If the road turns narrow, I'll be careful, not afraid
Made a little from the little, now I'm building what I made
[Bridge]
Let them count the minutes
Let them question the climb
I was busy making progress
One honest step at a time
[Chorus]
I don't need a loud room to know where I belong
I can carry my own weight, I can write my own song
If the road turns narrow, I'll be careful, not afraid
Made a little from the little, now I'm building what I made
[Outro]
Small list, clean page
New key, same name
I came this far
I'll go again
