Step one — fall down but I'm getting back quick,

Step two — stand tall, yeah I bounce back slick.

Step three — cut ties with the ones who fled,

Step four — find peace in the storms I bled.

Step five — rebuild everything they broke,

Step six — voice drops low, then I rise through smoke.

Step seven — I shine though the nights feel long,

Every step that I take writes the place I belong.

Yeah, I remember cold nights staring out at the rain,

Mama told me "keep walking," so I carried my pain.

I was thirteen fighting storms no kid should fight,

Writing lyrics on the window just to feel alright.

At sixteen I lost friends to the jealousy phase,

They disappeared when the spotlight grazed.

Left me driving through the city with the tank on red,

One hand on the wheel, the other holding my head.

I learned early that the world don't wait,

You either break from the pressure or you turn it to weight.

So I stitched my heart with the lies they told,

And walked the road alone through the freezing cold.

That's when I realized pain don't choose,

It teaches you to fight for the life you refuse.

And every scar on my chest is a place I grew —

I wouldn't be here now without the things I went through.

Step one — fall down but I'm getting back quick,

Step two — stand tall, yeah I bounce back slick.

Step three — cut ties with the ones who fled,

Step four — find peace in the storms I bled.

Step five — rebuild everything they broke,

Step six — voice drops low, then I rise through smoke.

Step seven — I shine though the nights feel long,

Every step that I take writes the place I belong.

By twenty-one I was drowning in the lights I chased,

Big dreams on the table but my nights felt wasted.

I kept waking up numb in a stranger's home,

Trying to fill a hollow heart with a broken tone.

But the mirror showed truth I tried to ignore,

A tired face and a soul asking "what for?"

So I grabbed my keys, drove miles alone,

Past the highways where the wolves still roam.

I pulled over by the lake where I used to pray,

Same spot where I promised I'd find my way.

I looked at the sky, breathing frost in the air,

And whispered, "I'll rise even if no one's there."

Since then every setback became a step I climb,

And every lost moment gave me back my time.

I don't regret any wound or blow,

'Cause they're the steps that built the man I know.

Step one — fall down but I'm getting back quick,

Step two — stand tall, yeah I bounce back slick.

Step three — cut ties with the ones who fled,

Step four — find peace in the storms I bled.

Step five — rebuild everything they broke,

Step six — voice drops low, then I rise through smoke.

Step seven — I shine though the nights feel long,

Every step that I take writes the place I belong
