[Verse 1]
Steady pace
Wind at my back
No more looking
At the empty track
Weight is gone
I can finally run
Skin getting warm
In a brand new sun
I used to wait
For the world to move
Now I’m the one
Carving out the groove
Old ghosts
Try to call my name
But they don’t know
I’ve outgrown the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m on fire
I’m in flight
Found the frequency
Inside the light
Every heartbeat
Sounds like a command
I’m finally taking
A hold of the land (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is the echo in the rhythm
Moving through the life that I’m making
Power in my chest like a kick-drum
Owning every breath that I’m taking
Eyes wide
Feet fast
I’m the storm now
Breaking through the wall where the sky starts
I don’t need the luck
Just the motion
I keep the fire in my steady parts
And my heavy heart
[Verse 2]
Clean slate
Deep roots
New fruit
On the ancient shoots
Fast world
But I’m faster still
Bending the chaos
To my own will
I don’t tremble
When the floorboards shake
I just dance
Through the mess they make
Every scar
Is a badge I wear
Showing the world
That I’m still there
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been forged
I’ve been tried
Nothing left for me
To fear inside
Every mountain
Looks like a stepping stone
I’m reclaiming
Everything I own (oh)
[Chorus]
This is the echo in the rhythm
Moving through the life that I’m making
Power in my chest like a kick-drum
Owning every breath that I’m taking
Eyes wide
Feet fast
I’m the storm now
Breaking through the wall where the sky starts
I don’t need the luck
Just the motion
I keep the fire in my steady parts
And my heavy heart
[Bridge]
[rhythmic build: “clap-snap, boom, clap-snap, boom”]
High ground
Look how far I’ve come
Merged the silence
With the rolling drum
One life
One chance to be real
I love the way
That the heights feel
(I’m here! I’m here!)
[Verse 3]
Shadows long
But the soul is bright
I’m the master
Of the morning light
No more debts
No more heavy chains
Only the music
In my pulsing veins
I am the break
I am the beat
I am the road
Beneath my feet.
[Chorus]
This is the echo in the rhythm
Moving through the life that I’m making
Power in my chest like a kick-drum
Owning every breath that I’m taking
Eyes wide
Feet fast
I’m the storm now
Breaking through the wall where the sky starts
I don’t need the luck
Just the motion
I keep the fire in my steady parts
And my heavy heart
[Outro]
[fading drum beat, steady and strong]
It returns.
It always returns.
But it’s different this time.
It’s mine.
I’m the echo.
I’m the rhythm.
(Hey!)
(Yeah)
[final heavy kick-drum hit]
Boom.
