Lyric

Holding my breath, I stop again

The sky I sought is out of reach

Dreams I thought were in my hands

Slip away between my fingers

Scars beneath these worn-out shoes

Trace the roads that no one sees

Every time I try to run away

I lose the shape of who I am

No one left to blame but me

Swallowed every silent scream

Still the fire inside my chest

Refuses to fade away

Don’t stare down at the ground too long

There’s only one way — straight ahead

Nothing will change if you don’t rise

Reach out your hand and live this moment

Even if the road cuts deep

My shadow walks beside my pain

Every scar becomes a mark

Of where I chose to fight again

You don’t need to fake a smile

You just have to walk your way

Turn the time you stopped to doubt

Into steps you take today

Don’t stare down at the ground too long

There’s only one way — straight ahead

Kick the door that closed your heart

Stand up now and choose your life

Waiting for someone’s voice

Will fade away into the wind

The moment you start to move

The world begins to breathe again

“Get up! It’s not over yet!”

Don’t stare down at the ground too long

There’s only one way — straight ahead

Where you fall becomes the start

Of the road you’ll walk again

Run—

Stand on your own!
