[Verse 1]
I woke in the ash
Of a life half burned
Your name on my tongue
Like a lesson unlearned
I’m counting the cuts
In the miles I made
With the dark in my lungs
And the sun in the shade
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my hands up
In the ruin and roar
I keep walking on
For something more
[Chorus]
On my way to the stars
On my way to the stars
I’m shaking off smoke
I’m letting it fall
On my way to the stars
On my way to the stars
If I never get there
I was chasing it all
[Verse 2]
I crossed empty hours
Like craters in sand
Held tight to the map
But it burned in my hands
I reached for the clouds
Like they owed me a door
But they split like a scar
And asked for no more
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I lean into
The pull and the flame
Still I call my name
Out into the rain
[Chorus]
On my way to the stars
On my way to the stars
I’m shaking off smoke
I’m letting it fall
On my way to the stars
On my way to the stars
If I never get there
I was chasing it all
[Bridge]
Now the old world fades
Like a glow in the rear
And the wreckage hums
But it can’t hold me here
I am not what broke
I am not what stayed
I am the pulse ahead
I am the brave
[Final Chorus]
On my way to the stars
On my way to the stars
I’m shaking off smoke
I’m letting it fall
On my way to the stars
On my way to the stars
If I never get there
I was chasing it all
On my way to the stars
On my way to the stars
I’m a spark in the dark
And I’m not scared at all
