The Road I Now Claim

There's a quiet in your chest you've never heard before A steady pulse whispering this is what you're living for You've walked through storms that tried to carve you down Stood in shadows long enough to almost drown But the hands that held you taught you how to rise How to breathe again beneath uncertain skies Your brothers your daughter those who never let go They built a road from their faith when you had none to show And now you're standing tall with your spirit aligned A man rebuilt a soul redefined There's a mountain ahead but the fear's long gone You've got voices behind you pushing you on And in the echo of every friend who stayed You feel the strength that their love has made Yeah You're standing at the forefront of the breaking dawn Every scar in your story now a badge you wear strong You've climbed through darkness now the horizon's yours A man reborn walking through open doors And whatever the path whatever the climb You'll get there One relentless step at a time Every lesson you carried every tear you shed Led you here with your feet steady your heart ahead And the people who held you through the worst you've known Are the fire in your stride as you claim your throne You're done running from the ghosts that chased Done hiding from the mirrors you once erased Now you stand in the light of a truth hard won You are worthy of the man you've become And you breathe in the world with a grateful chest Knowing none of this rise was done alone or in jest Every voice in your past every hand every call Brought you here standing fearless unshakable Yeah You're standing at the forefront of the breaking dawn Every scar in your story now a badge you wear strong You've climbed through darkness now the horizon's yours A man reborn walking through open doors And whatever the path whatever the climb You'll get there One relentless step at a time You've crawled from alleys thick with heartache and fight Through long hollow evenings bleeding into night Now resolve burns fierce and deep in your chest Facing the unknown knowing you're blessed Your past isn't weight dragging at your heels It's the wind at your back Yeah You're standing at the forefront of the breaking dawn Every scar in your story now a badge you wear strong You've climbed through darkness now the horizon's yours A man reborn walking through open doors And whatever the path whatever the climb You'll get there One relentless step at a time You stare at the future with unwavering sight A man built from love A man built from light
