[Intro]
Yeah, listen close
[Verse 1]
I came through the rain with a page in my pocket
Old train shaking while the whole block watched it
No crown on my head, just a plan and a compass
Turned every closed door into something I wanted
You said keep your promise, so I carried the weight
Past the corner-store glass and the courthouse gates
Now the past can't reach me, but it knows where I stand
With a fist full of truth and a map in my hand
[Chorus]
We rise where the hard ground breaks
Make room for the choice that tomorrow makes
I found peace where the cold wind blows
Standing in a field of white roses
[Verse 2]
Every petal got a story, every stem got a scar
Still they open up clean underneath who we are
I don't need easy roads, I need roads that are real
Something steady in my chest that the doubt can't steal
Tell the ones back home that the signal got through
I was lost for a minute, now I know what to do
Let the kick drum knock while the old fear goes
I put my name in the dirt where the white rose grows
[Chorus]
We rise where the hard ground breaks
Make room for the choice that tomorrow makes
I found peace where the cold wind blows
Standing in a field of white roses
[Bridge]
No turning back, no borrowed pride
I left the weight on the other side
If the night comes down, let it come down slow
I know the way by the way these flowers grow
[Final Chorus]
We rise where the hard ground breaks
Make room for the choice that tomorrow makes
I found peace where the cold wind blows
Standing in a field of white roses
[Outro]
Field of white roses
Still growing, still focused
