[Style • Genre: Rap / Pop (NF-inspired but brighter) • Tempo: Mid-tempo, steady drive (90–100 BPM) • Production: • Warm piano or synth progression • Clean drums with forward momentum • Subtle rise in the hook (hope without corny)] [This song walks, not runs. Purposeful steps.] [Theme: “Forward” is about choosing direction over perfection. Not erasing the past — outgrowing it.] [This track answers: • Who do I want to be? • What kind of life am I building? • What am I walking toward, not running from?] [It’s about: • Marriage • Stability • Faith • Growth • Legacy] [Intro] Yeah… I’m done staring in the rearview [Verse 1] I spent years looking back at who I was Every wrong turn, every time I gave up Measuring my life by mistakes I made Letting yesterday decide today But I’m tired of living in rewind Tired of asking if I’ll be fine I don’t need the answers all at once I just need a reason to move my feet up [Pre-Chorus] I don’t have it figured out yet But I know what I won’t forget [Chorus] I’m moving forward, step by step Building something I haven’t met A future I can stand inside A home, a name, a reason why I’m not there yet, but I’m on my way I choose tomorrow over yesterday No more running, no more war-dread I’m walking forward — not afraid [Verse 2] I want a life that feels like peace Not perfect, just something real to me A ring on her hand, faith in my chest Less noise in my head, more breath I wanna wake up proud of the man I am Knowing I tried even when I can’t Leave something behind worth remembering Not just fear in my legacy [Pre-Chorus] I won’t let doubt write my fate I won’t let comfort make me wait [Chorus] I’m moving forward, step by step Building something I haven’t met A future I can stand inside A home, a name, a reason why I’m not there yet, but I’m on my way I choose tomorrow over yesterday No more running, no more war-dread I’m walking forward — not afraid [Bridge] If I fall, I’ll fall ahead If I fail, I’ll fail in motion I won’t stay frozen in my head Waiting on perfect devotion Progress beats regret Movement beats fear I don’t need the whole map Just the road from here [Final Chorus] I’m moving forward, even slow Even unsure, even alone Faith in my steps, hope in my chest Becoming more than I was then I don’t need proof, I don’t need applause I just need purpose, I just need God The past can talk, I won’t hear it I’m facing forward — and I mean it [Outro] Yeah… One step’s enough.
