Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They said "sit down"
You pulled up a chair and opened a book
Coffee at midnight
Highlighter hands and a half-faded look
Every "you can't"
You folded it small and taped to the wall
Turned it to fuel
Walked through the doubt like it was a hall
[Chorus]
You did it on your own two feet
Step by shaking step
You climbed that steep
Through all the noise
You stayed your beat
I'm so proud I could scream from the rafters
You wrote your name in your own handwriting
This is your page
This is your timing
You did it on your own two feet
And I'm standing here
Just shining (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Phone full of messages
People who never stayed for the rain
You kept on going
Carrying books and carrying pain
Cap and a gown now
But I still see the kid with scraped knees
Fighting to stand
Look at you now
Walking past every "please"
[Chorus]
You did it on your own two feet
Step by shaking step
You climbed that steep
Through all the noise
You stayed your beat
I'm so proud I could scream from the rafters
You wrote your name in your own handwriting
This is your page
This is your timing
You did it on your own two feet
And I'm standing here
Just shining
[Bridge]
They tried to shrink you down
You grew right through the cracks
Every hurt they handed you
You wore like armor on your back
If you ever doubt again
Play this in your head on repeat
You are the reason
You made it here
Complete (woah)
[Chorus]
You did it on your own two feet
Step by shaking step
You climbed that steep
Through all the noise
You stayed your beat
I'm so proud I could scream from the rafters
You wrote your name in your own handwriting
This is your page
This is your timing
You did it on your own two feet
And I always knew
Yeah
I always knew
You'd stand right here
And beat it

Style
Warm indie-pop ballad with alto female vocals, soft piano and brushed drums. First verse intimate and close-mic over sparse keys; chorus blooms with subtle strings, tambourine, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Second verse brings in gentle electric guitar arpeggios, bridge lifts with a key change feel and more reverb, then a proud, triumphant final chorus that holds the last note., vocal
