[Verse 1] Morning comes. The road is humming underneath our feet. Everybody's smiling. Maybe we're finally going somewhere beautiful. Mama says, "Stay close." The others laugh. The wind smells different today. The whole world keeps moving forward... so I guess we should too. --- [Hook] Look how wide the morning sky can be. Look how bright today was meant to feel. If this is the beginning... why does my heart beat like it's saying goodbye? --- [Verse 2] Another gate. Another stop. Another stranger counting heads without our names. Some leave before us. None come back. Maybe... they already found the better place. Mama won't stop shaking. She tells me everything is alright. So I believe her. --- [Hook] Look how warm the sunlight feels today. Everyone says we're almost there. If hope can smile... why does silence keep getting louder? --- [instrument and ad-lib] [Bridge] I never asked where this road ends. I only wondered why the birds always flew the other way. ... Mama... Why won't you look at me anymore? --- [Final Hook] The sky is still blue. The wind is still singing. The road finally ends... And every dream we carried together becomes too quiet to remember. If this was always where we were going... I hope we made you proud. --- [ad-lib] [Outro] (Almost no music. Just distant wind.) ... "Are we there yet?" The door opens I'm still here. Waiting... for my number. (The sound of a heavy metal gate slowly closing.) (Silence.)
