Lyrics

Take a step forward if you ever felt the world was built with you in mind,
If every door you touched opened clean, no rust, no grind.
Take a step forward if your path was smooth, no cracks beneath your feet,
If every challenge came with help, and every loss came with retreat.
Take a step forward if your mornings never started with a fight,
If you never had to prove your worth just to stand beneath the light.
Take a step forward if they treated you like strength instead of something fragile,
If nobody ever whispered that you might break under the weight of the battle.
Take a step forward if your name was called first, not last or never,
If you didn't stand frozen while others moved on, thinking they were clever.
Take a step forward if you learned fast, if the lessons came easy,
If the world didn't spin too quick, leaving your balance broken and queasy.
Take a step forward if you walked into jobs and they welcomed you inside,
If you didn't feel the silence, the hesitation, the subtle shift in pride.
Take a step forward if love found you without searching through storms,
If affection wasn't a puzzle with missing pieces and shattered forms.
Take a step forward if you never felt invisible in a crowded room,
If your voice wasn't swallowed whole by the echo of someone else's boom.
Take a step forward if your dreams weren't treated like charity or chance,
If nobody ever doubted your ability before you even took a stance.
Take a step forward…
If the world ever bent for you, even slightly, even once.
Take a step forward…
If your story wasn't written with missing pages and blunt fronts.
Take a step forward…
If you didn't have to fight gravity just to rise above the ground.
Take a step forward…
If you didn't learn early that silence is the loudest sound.
Take a step forward if you ran without tripping on obstacles others couldn't see,
If the race wasn't rigged from the start, if the finish line felt free.
Take a step forward if your hands weren't shaking every time you tried to create,
If the world didn't judge your pace, your rhythm, your timing, your weight.
Take a step forward if friendships came easy, if people stayed when you fell,
If you didn't have to hide your cracks, pretending everything was well.
Take a step forward if you never felt like a burden in someone else's day,
If nobody sighed when you spoke, or slowly drifted away.
Take a step forward if you weren't told "maybe later" more times than you can count,
If your worth wasn't measured by how much you could discount.
Take a step forward if you didn't have to rehearse courage just to speak,
If your voice wasn't treated like a glitch, a malfunction, something weak.
Take a step forward if you didn't learn young that some people get the map,
While others get the maze, the locked doors, the endless trap.
Take a step forward if you didn't have to pretend you were fine just to fit,
If your truth wasn't something they tried to edit, erase, or split.
Take a step forward if the world didn't feel heavy on your shoulders,
If you didn't grow up faster than the rest, forced to act older.
Take a step forward if you didn't watch others climb while you stayed still,
If your mountain wasn't twice as tall, carved from someone else's will.
Take a step forward if you didn't learn resilience from necessity,
If your victories weren't built from scraps of possibility.
Take a step forward…
If your story wasn't shaped by battles no one else could see.
Take a step forward…
If your scars didn't form before you learned who you could be.
Take a step forward…
If the world didn't ask you to survive before it let you live.
Take a step forward…
If you didn't have to earn what others were simply given.
Now look around…
See who's standing far ahead, and who's frozen on the line.
See who moved without thinking, and who stayed trapped in time.
See who stepped forward with ease, and who stayed rooted to the floor.
See who never had the chance…
And who was carried through the door.
