[Verse 1]
I packed up the quiet
Folded it into a drawer
Left my old reflection
Sleeping on the bedroom floor
Mama said be careful
Papa said stay near
But there’s a knocking in my chest
And it’s louder than my fear
[Pre-Chorus]
What if I fall?
What if I fly?
What if I never even try?
[Chorus]
So call me toward the unknown
Where the map just fades to white
Where the road gives way to sky
And the stars replace the signs
I’m trading all that I’ve outgrown
For a story that is mine
I don’t know where this will go
But I know this voice is right
(Call me toward the unknown)
I’m stepping into the light
[Verse 2]
Goodbye to the supper plans
The small talk
The same four walls
To the version they applauded
Who was shrinking to stay small
There’s a suitcase full of maybe
And a ticket marked “we’ll see”
But my name sounds so much brighter
When I say it as I leave
[Pre-Chorus]
What if I lose?
What if I win?
What if the risk is just begin?
[Chorus]
So call me toward the unknown
Where the map just fades to white
Where the road gives way to sky
And the stars replace the signs
I’m trading all that I’ve outgrown
For a story that is mine
I don’t know where this will go
But I know this voice is right
(Call me toward the unknown)
I’m stepping into the light
[Bridge]
I was made for more than maybe (ahh)
More than “one day
” more than “wait”
If the ending isn’t written
Then I’ll meet it on the way
Let the thunder say it’s risky
Let the mirror say “you’re late”
I will answer
I will answer
Before courage can escape
[Chorus]
Oh
Call me toward the unknown
Let the past fall out of frame
Let the questions circle high
Till they spell out my new name
I’m trading comfort for the glow
Of a future undefined
I don’t know where this will go
But I know this heart is mine
(Call me toward the unknown)
This is my turn
My time
(Call me toward the unknown)
I’m claiming what was inside
