Verse 1 I used to walk with my eyes on the ground Counting the cracks, never making a sound You said, “look up, there’s more to see” I didn’t know what that meant for me There was a hill I crossed every day Same narrow road, same quiet way But something shifted under my feet When I chose the sky over defeat ⸻ Pre-Chorus Step by step, I learned to climb Not all at once, just one at a time ⸻ Chorus On that hill, I lifted my eyes Not because I wasn’t afraid But I was tired of living disguised Through the rain, through the rush of years Every version of me passed there And I’m still somewhere on that hill ⸻ Verse 2 Bicycle wheels and a summer sky Cold winter winds rushing me by A borrowed coat and exam days And nights I rode through the pouring rain Blue signs waving in silent lines Something about them felt like a sign To say your truth, to stand and be Even if no one else can see ⸻ Pre-Chorus Time moved on, but something stayed In every step I ever made ⸻ Chorus On that hill, I lifted my eyes Not because I wasn’t afraid But I was done with quiet goodbyes Through the years, through the changing scenes Every version I’ve ever been Left a trace along that hill ⸻ Bridge I thought I left it far behind In other towns, in other lives But somehow every road I take Leads me back to that same incline ⸻ Final Chorus On that hill, I’m still learning how To carry doubt without looking down To keep my heart open somehow If I forget who I can be There’s a place that remembers me Somewhere still, I’m climbing that hill
