Red Rose Strategist

[Verse 1] Baltimore kid with a borrowed map One second home, then the floor fell back Mud on my boots in a kingdom split Red rose banner, and I got picked I read the field like a cracked-up page But the first swing cut through my brave Lost that day and I felt too small Like I was built to watch it all [Pre-Chorus] Kanan looked at me, steel in her eyes Said, "Hold your line when the fear gets loud" "I don't need perfect, I need you now" "See where they bend, and I’ll show you how" [Chorus] I fell hard, but I’m still here Red rose beating through the fear I was lost, now I can see Kanan stands with the Warriors and me I fell hard, but I’m still here One more step, I face this field I was lost, now I can see The Red Rose is enough for me [Verse 2] She moved like winter across the lane Knew every weakness, every stain She traced the line where the banners met And turned my panic into a plan I kept I learned the road in the rain-soaked dark How to save a life with a single mark Every wrong turn taught me what to see Now the whole wide board was speaking to me [Spoken] I thought I had to be fearless Turns out I just had to stay in the room Watch the angles Trust the blade Trust Kanan [Pre-Chorus] Kanan looked at me, steel in her eyes Said, "Hold your line when the fear gets loud" "I don't need perfect, I need you now" "See where they bend, and I’ll show you how" [Chorus] I fell hard, but I’m still here Red rose beating through the fear I was lost, now I can see Kanan stands with the Warriors and me I fell hard, but I’m still here One more step, I face this field I was lost, now I can see The Red Rose is enough for me [Bridge] Maybe I’m not born for crowns Maybe I’m just the boy who found A broken road and kept my pace Long enough to earn my place Kanan said, "Lead with what you know" "Keep your head when the cold winds blow" "Even a blade that shakes at first Can learn to strike where it hurts the worst" [Final Chorus] I fell hard, but I’m still here Red rose beating through the fear I was lost, now I can see Kanan stands with the Warriors and me I fell hard, but I’m still here One more step, I face this field I was lost, now I can see The Red Rose is enough for me
