(Verse 1) Boxes stacked by the broken door, Dust on the floor where my life was before. Mom says, “Kid, it’s a brand-new start,” But I can’t stop the weight in my heart. Backseat roads, a thousand miles, Old town’s gone, new one’s all smiles. Street signs blur as they roll on by, A stranger’s name under an endless sky. (Pre-Chorus) Every face feels like a test, Trying to breathe with a pounding chest. (Chorus) Under this new sky, I’m learning to stand, Fighting the fear with an open hand. Every step feels strange and wide, But I’ll find my place on the other side. If the world feels cold tonight, I’ll still reach for the morning light — Yeah, under this new sky, I’ll learn to fly. (Verse 2) Locker doors and the hallway noise, Names and faces, girls and boys. I fake a smile, they glance and stare, Like I don’t belong, like I’m not there. Lunchroom tables all carved with names, Trying to hide but it’s all the same. Then one small laugh cuts through the crowd, And for a second, the world’s not so loud. (Pre-Chorus) Every wall starts to fade away, When someone sees you anyway. (Chorus) Under this new sky, I’m learning to stand, Fighting the fear with an open hand. Every step feels strange and wide, But I’ll find my place on the other side. If the world feels cold tonight, I’ll still reach for the morning light — Yeah, under this new sky, I’ll learn to fly. (Bridge) Maybe change ain’t the end I thought, Just a start I never sought. All these roads I didn’t choose, Are leading me to something new. If I fall, I’ll rise again, Every stranger’s just a friend I haven’t met. (Final Chorus) Under this new sky, I’m starting to see, Every fear’s just a part of me. Every scar, every tear I hide, Becomes the map that leads my life. If the world feels cold tonight, I’ll still reach for the morning light — Yeah, under this new sky, I’ll learn to fly. (Outro) (Soft, clean guitar arpeggio — similar to intro) I take one step, then one more try, The sun breaks through this new sky. *(Echo fade: “this new sky…”)
