[Verse 1]
Alarm at five
You’re up before the sun can rise
Coffee in a chipped old mug
Same bus
Same seat
Same tired eyes
Screens glowing
But your mind is somewhere higher
Sketches in the margins
Little blueprints of your fire
[Pre-Chorus]
They say
“Be realistic”
You say
“Watch me prove you wrong”
Every scar you’re carrying
Turns into another song
[Chorus]
Keep your vision up
When the world says “stop”
Hold that picture
Like a promise in your blood
Yeah
The climb is rough
But you’re built that tough
When your hands feel empty
Fill ‘em with your faith and trust
Keep your vision up
Keep your vision up (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Late shift done
You’re grinding on the side at two
Laptop glow on your face
Everybody sleeping but you
Fail
Learn
That’s the way you’re laying tracks
Every time you fall down hard
You stand up and bring more back
[Pre-Chorus]
Voices in the hallway
Whisper
“Why you try so hard?”
You just smile and breathe out
“I was born to raise the bar”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
This is for the ones still stacking
Tiny wins day by day
For the single moms
The dreamers
For the kids who found their way
For the tired hands
The hopeful hearts
Clocking in and showing up
[low vocal register] You’re the reason mountains move
[crescendo] When you choose to not give up
[Chorus]
