[Intro: High-energy melodic ska-punk horn intro, rapid snare rolls, walking bass] (One, two, three, let's go!) [Verse 1: Fast-paced, dense syllables, conversational flow] I spent the last few years staring at the same four walls wondering if I missed the boat completely Watching everybody else build their empires while I was just trying to find a reason to get out of bed It felt like I was running a marathon with lead shoes on and nobody even told me the race had started I kept trying to measure my progress using a ruler that somebody else left behind But then You reminded me that my timeline doesn't have to look like their highlight reel [Pre-Chorus: Heavy palm-muted power chords, transitioning to bright skanking guitar] I was carrying a weight that wasn't even mine to hold But Your mercy washed the pressure away like a sudden flood The future used to look like a massive terrifying wall But now I finally see the open door You built for me [Chorus: Explosive energy, double-time drum beat, massive horns, gang vocals] And I will keep on pushing through the darkest night! Because You are the fire that makes everything bright! I’m leaving all my heavy burdens in the past! With You by my side, I know I'm gonna last! (Whoa-oh-oh! Pick it up!) [Instrumental: Fast Skanking Guitar & Trumpet/Trombone harmony] [Verse 2: Rapid-fire delivery, bass and drums only for the first half] I used to think I had to have the whole map figured out before I could even take a single step forward I paralyzed my own feet with the fear of making a mistake and ruining some grand master plan Now I realize that grace isn't about being flawless or having all the right answers ready to go It's just about trusting the One who promises to catch you every single time you stumble So I'm trading in my perfectionism for a little bit of faith and a lot of loud music [Pre-Chorus: Heavy palm-muted power chords, transitioning to bright skanking guitar] I was carrying a weight that wasn't even mine to hold But Your mercy washed the pressure away like a sudden flood The future used to look like a massive terrifying wall But now I finally see the open door You built for me [Chorus: Explosive energy, double-time drum beat, massive horns, gang vocals] And I will keep on pushing through the darkest night! Because You are the fire that makes everything bright! I’m leaving all my heavy burdens in the past! With You by my side, I know I'm gonna last! (Whoa-oh-oh! Let's go!) [Bridge: Breakdown, slow heavy bass groove, rim clicks, building up tension] They want us to stay quiet and just stay in line They want us to forget the freedom we were given from the start But we've got a hope that cannot be contained in a neat little box And we'll sing it out until the whole world hears the truth! (Get up! Get up! Jump!) [Guitar & Saxophone Solo: Very fast, chaotic, shredding melodic punk energy] [Chorus: Maximum energy, gang vocals in background, soaring horns] And I will keep on pushing through the darkest night! Because You are the fire that makes everything bright! I’m leaving all my heavy burdens in the past! With You by my side, I know I'm gonna last! (Yeah! One more time!) [Outro: Horns blazing, chaotic punk rock finish, gang vocals] We're moving forward! We're never stopping! You are the reason! (Hey!) [End]
