Made for the Journey

I used to hide in the corners of every crowded room

Laughing at the right time, but never in tune

Tried on a thousand faces that never felt like mine

Like a signal in the static, lost between the lines

I chased the lines on every map

Thinking one day I’d arrive

But every town just whispered back,

“Are you here to live or just survive?”

I was chasing some horizon I could never quite define

Thought I’d turn into someone else on the other side

But every road and every sky just kept on turning

Till it hit me in the dark like a dawning sunrise burning

I’m not made for destinations

I’m made for the journey

⸻

Took a train to a city built of steel and glass and noise

Tried to drown my doubts out in all those borrowed joys

On a rooftop full of strangers singing out my fears

Something in the rhythm started washing out the years

There in the echo of the beat

Something shifted in my chest

Every step beneath my feet

Felt less like running, more like rest

I was chasing some horizon I could never quite define

Thought I’d turn into someone else on the other side

But every road and every sky just kept on turning

Till it hit me in the dark like a dawning sunrise burning

I’m not made for destinations

I’m made for the journey

⸻

Let the road bend, let the rain fall

I don’t need to know it all

If I never find that one place

I’ll still find myself in every step I take

⸻

I was chasing some horizon I could never quite define

Now I’m learning I was home in every stray outline

Every wrong turn, every heartbreak, every midnight yearning

Drew the map inside my chest, kept this tired soul burning

I’m not made for destinations

I was made for the journey

If I never quite fit in, that’s the space where I belong

In the quiet and the chaos, I keep moving, moving on

Not an ending, just a sunrise on the road before me

I’m not made for destinations

I’m made for the journey
