Lyric

You left your coffee by the window

A half-read page beneath the glass

I traced the shape of every question

And let the quiet answer back

Now the room is turning slowly

Every color finds its place

I can feel the door behind me

I can meet the day awake

I’m stepping into something brighter

No borrowed map, no borrowed name

You can keep the old directions

I’m not walking there again

With my hands open, heart wide

I’m making room for a new kind

I’m stepping into something brighter

And I won’t apologize

The train rolls past the corner bakery

Morning flour dusts the air

A woman laughs into her phone call

And suddenly I’m going somewhere

All the pieces I was holding

Fall like rain from open hands

What I thought was an ending

Was a place to finally stand

I’m stepping into something brighter

No borrowed map, no borrowed name

You can keep the old directions

I’m not walking there again

With my hands open, heart wide

I’m making room for a new kind

I’m stepping into something brighter

And I won’t apologize

If I tremble, let it happen

If I’m unsure, I’ll still begin

There is no perfect threshold

Only the choice to walk within

I’m stepping into something brighter

No borrowed map, no borrowed name

You can keep the old directions

I’m not walking there again

With my hands open, heart wide

I’m making room for a new kind

I’m stepping into something brighter

And I won’t apologize

Something brighter

I’m already on my way
