[Verse 1] I grasp I find And then rewind Caught in the echo of my own mind What did I learn this turning tide? Why does the ache still live inside? [Pre-Chorus] Two steps forward One breath held The truth unspoken, the dream unspelled Always more beneath the track One step forward, one pulled back [Chorus] The dance is rhythmic, spirals undone Every return births another sun Unfolding the field I thought I knew— Losing myself to become what’s true Two steps forward One step behind Walking the edge of the great design [Verse 2] I heal I burn Then twist and yearn My lessons loop where patterns turn But still I rise, flame-marked, whole— A wandering map with a sovereign soul [Bridge – male voice, soft, spoken or whispered] The backward step isn’t loss, my dear It’s the rhythm of remembering The soul stepping clear The field moves in spirals, not lines through the sand— Each retreat a return Each stumble… planned [Final Chorus – lifted] Two steps forward One back, one free A waltz with the stars inside of me I’m not failing— I’m unwinding time I dance the code in rhythm divine
