[Verse 1]
Even when I'm down to one more bag
I still show up, I still do that
I know what it's like to need a hand
So I keep my word where I can
I work that shift, I take that ride
Send what I can, keep hope alive
Ain't proud of every place I've been
But I'm still here, still stepping in
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't fold, I don't fade
New day, new kind of brave
If the floor feels far away
I lift my chin and say
[Chorus]
Positive strides, that's me
Positive strides, you'll see
We can rise, we can rise
One small step at a time
Positive strides, that's us
Keep it real, keep the trust
We can rise, we can rise
One small step at a time
[Verse 2]
I got friends with heavy hands
I bring what I can, I make a stand
A hot meal, a call, a ride
Little things that keep us tied
I learned growth ain't overnight
It's slow hands working through the night
Every scar got something to say
I turn mine into better days
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't fold, I don't fade
New day, new kind of brave
If the floor feels far away
I lift my chin and say
[Chorus]
Positive strides, that's me
Positive strides, you'll see
We can rise, we can rise
One small step at a time
Positive strides, that's us
Keep it real, keep the trust
We can rise, we can rise
One small step at a time
[Bridge]
If I lose my spot tonight
I'll still bring light to somebody's life
If my pockets stay bare
My heart still goes there
[Chorus]
Positive strides, that's me
Positive strides, you'll see
We can rise, we can rise
One small step at a time
Positive strides, that's us
Keep it real, keep the trust
We can rise, we can rise
One small step at a time
