Rise Beyond Boundaries

I kept a map in the margins of notebooks Where the moon

made a compass from rain Every doubt had a name and a

cold look Still I walked with the ache in my veins Time

kept folding like paper in my pocket Ambition lit a match in

the storm I was scared of the height,

but the ledge taught logic Wings get written where the fall feels

worn I met my limits in a mirror at morning Asked who

I was when the applause went thin Found a small brave spark

in the warning

And let it draw breath under my skin

If the stars are questions,

I will learn their names

If the road keeps turning,

I will turn the same

Hold the fear beside me,

let it keep its flame I am more than what I could

not change (ooh) We rise where the unknown opens wide Hearts like

fire on a silver tide Carry me past the edge of tonight

I can see forever when I close my eyes

We rise, we rise

Through the

fear, into the sky

(oh-oh, yeah) (oh-oh-oh)

We rise, we rise (oh-oh-oh)

Beyond the line

Now the drum in my chest got a cleaner intention

I quit asking the ceiling for signs Built a bridge out of

pressure and patient invention Let the old fears dissolve in the lines

I was chasing a version of me in the distance Til I

learned that becoming is near Every scar had a cadence,

a private resistance Every loss made the message more clear So I

move with the weight and the wonder together No mask,

no borrowed design If the future is weather,

I step through the weather With my name finally sounding like mine

Maybe we are questions learning how to breathe

Small hands reaching past the edge of what we know

Curiosity is not an escape from fear

It is the lamp

we carry through it

Purpose is not found like a coin in the road

It is shaped each time we choose to keep going (ahhhh)

I hear the morning forming under every bruise

I feel the road rise up with something left to prove

All that I carried becomes the wings I choose We are not

lost, we are becoming true (ooh,

oh-oh)

We rise where the unknown opens wide Hearts like fire on a

silver tide

Carry me past the edge of tonight I can see forever when

I close my eyes

We rise, we rise Through the fear,

into the sky Rap ad-libs: every limit fell behind us,

every step became a sign We rise,

we rise Still the violin remembers why (oh-oh,

yeah, we rise) We rise Still becoming
