Life was heavy for so long – felt like I was stuck at the bottom
Every morning a struggle, just trying to get through the day
Days blending together, no clear path ahead
Carrying stuff I didn’t even know I was holding
But I started climbing, slow at first then picking up pace
Putting in the hours, pushing through even when it hurt
Now I’m here – solid ground under my feet
Building something real, working for every single thing I have
Putting money aside, dreaming up trips we can take
Looking at maps, pointing out spots we’ve only ever read about
Came out the gutter, now I’m standing tall
No more staying stuck, no more letting life knock me down
Me and my partner, we’re building our future piece by piece
Counting down to every new place, every new start
The future’s wide open – full of things I can’t even imagine yet
Can’t wait to see what comes next for us
Late nights at work, early mornings when it’s still dark
Every bit of effort worth it, washing away all the old stress
We talk for hours about beaches on the other side of the world
About the home we want to make, the life we’re building together
No more just scraping by – we’re moving forward now
Making up for all the time we spent just holding on
I used to think this day would never come
When hope felt like something I’d left behind a long time ago
But here we are – strong and steady
Ready for whatever comes our way
Came out the gutter, now I’m standing tall
No more staying stuck, no more letting life knock me down
Me and my partner, we’re building our future piece by piece
Counting down to every new place, every new start
The future’s wide open – full of things I can’t even imagine yet
Can’t wait to see what comes next for us
