[intro. soft choir hum + heartbeat kick] Mmm Yeah Sometimes the voice you need is your own. [verse 1. reflective, conversational] I been waitin on help that never came, Lookin for a savior in somebody else’s name. Chasin shadows hopin they would grab my hand, But the mirror keeps tellin me “you gotta be your stand.” Every bruise I earned, every fall I met, Taught me strength don’t show till the pain gets wet. I kept searchin for a hero in the world outside, But the truth hit hard: I was who I tried to find. [pre chorus. rising choir pads] Ain’t no rescue comin from the sky above. Ain’t no shortcut carved into the path I love. [chorus. gospel swell, big harmonies] “No one saves us but ourselves.” That’s the truth that I had to tell myself. “No one can and no one may.” So I’m walkin this road in my own damn way. No map. no crown. no borrowed breath. If I want the rise, I push through the depth. Every mile I claim, every step I take, Is a promise to heal whatever I break. [verse 2. sharper delivery, more rhythmic] I used to fold in the weight of doubt, Beggin storms to stop, hopin pain timed out. But you don’t get strength in the calm and ease, You grow by standin up with shakin knees. Had to clean my thoughts like a dusty book, Every page I turned was a deeper look. A journey starts small when the world feels wide, So I tightened my laces and I stepped outside. [pre chorus. drums cut, vocals intimate] Ain’t nobody carryin these shoes for me. Ain’t nobody teachin what I refuse to see. [chorus. full choir, big emotional lift] “No one saves us but ourselves.” That’s the truth that I had to tell myself. “No one can and no one may.” So I’m walkin this road in my own damn way. No map. no crown. no borrowed breath. If I want the rise, I push through the depth. Every mile I claim, every step I take, Is a promise to heal whatever I break. [bridge. spoken word over soft choir] If the world walks off, keep walkin. If the night grows loud, keep talkin. If fear grips tight, unclench slow. Someone has to lead you. And you’re the only one who can go. [final chorus. powerful, cinematic, gospel energy] “No one saves us but ourselves.” I whisper it low when the courage melts. “No one can and no one may.” So I carve this path in my own damn way. Every fall I rise, every scar I keep, Turns the mountain high and the valley deep. Yeah I walk. I bleed. I learn. I grow. And I carry myself everywhere I go. [outro. fading gospel hum] Walk it myself Yeah Walk it myself
