[Verse 1]
I packed my life in boxes
By the front porch light
Left the shouting in the driveway
And the fear behind the fight
My boy took my hand, said
“Daddy, are we gonna be okay?”
I said, “We’re headed toward the sunrise
One hard mile at a time”
[Pre-Chorus]
I prayed in the truck cab
On a cold black road
Said, “Lord, if You’re listening
Please don’t let me fold”
And I felt my feet steadier
When the dawn came down
[Chorus]
Keep moving forward
Keep moving forward
Family in my corner
God leading me home
Keep moving forward
Keep moving forward
I’m free from the hurt now
I’m not going back there alone
[Verse 2]
She left scars on the doorframe
And cracks in my pride
But I learned that chains can break
When you choose a harder side
Mama said, “Son, keep your faith
And stand up straight and tall”
So I cleaned up my old heart
And I answered every call
[Pre-Chorus]
I prayed in the truck cab
On a cold black road
Said, “Lord, if You’re listening
Please don’t let me fold”
And I felt my feet steadier
When the dawn came down
[Chorus]
Keep moving forward
Keep moving forward
Family in my corner
God leading me home
Keep moving forward
Keep moving forward
I’m free from the hurt now
I’m not going back there alone
[Bridge]
There’s a little house waiting
With a screen door and grace
My little ones laughing
In the safest place
I don’t need the old pain
To prove I survived
I got a brand-new morning
And a reason to rise
[Chorus]
Keep moving forward
Keep moving forward
Family in my corner
God leading me home
Keep moving forward
Keep moving forward
I’m free from the hurt now
I’m not going back there alone
[Outro]
Keep moving forward
One hard mile at a time
