[Intro]
Slow steps, one string at a time
I was learning how to turn the dark into a sign
[Verse 1]
You found me counting coins by the corner store
Old blue jacket, rain coming through the door
I had a notebook full of names I couldn't call
And a little bit of nerve, that was all
You said, “Come on, don't fold that dream away”
So I brought it to the room where the whole crowd stayed
Now every hand goes up when I say your name
Funny how a small belief can start a flame
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't need a perfect road
We just need somewhere to go
[Chorus]
Dark nights bring some of the brightest lights
So raise your glass, we're still alive tonight
I came from the low, now I'm aiming high
With your hand in mine, watch the whole room fly
Hey, hey, let the good times roll
Hey, hey, put your heart on hold?
No, no, give me everything inside
Dark nights bring some of the brightest lights
[Verse 2]
I learned patience from the kettle on the stove
Learned courage from the bills I couldn't owe
Now I walk in with a plan and a steady pace
Turn a closed door into a better place
No borrowed crown, I built this from the ground
Every scar got a rhythm, every loss got a sound
If they ask who brought the spark to the floor
Tell them we arrived, then we asked for more
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't need a perfect road
We just need somewhere to go
[Chorus]
Dark nights bring some of the brightest lights
So raise your glass, we're still alive tonight
I came from the low, now I'm aiming high
With your hand in mine, watch the whole room fly
Hey, hey, let the good times roll
Hey, hey, put your heart on hold?
No, no, give me everything inside
Dark nights bring some of the brightest lights
[Bridge]
If your week left a bruise, bring it here
If you lost your way, let the room make it clear
One voice, two hands, a hundred hearts in time
What looked like the end was a starting line
[Rap Break]
I kept receipts for the days they dismissed me
Turned every “no” into fuel in the city
Now I'm too focused, too grateful, too ready
Feet on the floor and my whole team steady
No overnight story, I paid every due
But the best part of winning is sharing with you
So when that first beat drops, let the ceiling shake
We earned this moment, let the good hearts wake
[Final Chorus]
Dark nights bring some of the brightest lights
So raise your glass, we're still alive tonight
I came from the low, now I'm aiming high
With your hand in mine, watch the whole room fly
Hey, hey, let the good times roll
Hey, hey, let the whole world know
No, no, give me everything inside
Dark nights bring some of the brightest lights
[Outro]
Slow steps, one string at a time
Now the whole room sings, and the future looks bright
