[Verse 1]
I count the plates, I face the day
No more bargaining my strength away
The room is quiet, but I hear my name
Calling me back to the fight again
[Pre-Chorus]
One more bite, one more mile
I’m learning how to stay awhile
When the easy road says let it go
I plant my feet and answer no
[Chorus]
I’m gaining my ground, I’m taking it back
Building my body, getting on track
No empty excuses, no hiding from pain
I trust my ability, I rise again
Determined heart, steady hands
I’m becoming the person I planned
Not eating and laziness won’t decide
I’ve got the will to turn the tide
[Verse 2]
Some mornings drag like heavy stone
Still I make this promise my own
A simple meal, a little more
A stronger step than the one before
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need perfection tonight
Just enough courage to choose what’s right
Every small victory proves to me
There’s more of me I’m meant to be
[Chorus]
I’m gaining my ground, I’m taking it back
Building my body, getting on track
No empty excuses, no hiding from pain
I trust my ability, I rise again
Determined heart, steady hands
I’m becoming the person I planned
Not eating and laziness won’t decide
I’ve got the will to turn the tide
[Bridge]
If I stumble, I begin
A slower road still lets me win
I speak belief into my bones
I’m not alone inside my own home
[Final Chorus]
I’m gaining my ground, I’m taking it back
Building my body, getting on track
With every meal and every day
I find a stronger way
Determined heart, steady hands
I’m becoming the person I planned
No fear, no doubt, no voice outside
Can take the power from my life
[Outro]
I believe in my ability
I’m gaining my strength, I’m choosing me
