[Verse 1] I wake with the alarm still ringing Hands are cold, but I start moving Every thought says, wait, stay hidden I lace my shoes and answer with it The hallway holds its little verdicts Old mistakes in paper folders I take one breath, then take another Leave the lock and face the weather [Pre-Chorus] Fear can name a hundred reasons Hope only needs a door I don't have to see the whole road To take one step more [Chorus] I am not the panic in my chest Not the worst thing I have guessed When the ground begins to sway I can choose a brighter way I was waiting for a sign Now I see this life is mine Let the doubt fall out of view There is more I can become, and more to do [Verse 2] I call my brother from the bus stop Tell him all the ways I almost stopped He says, you don't have to sound certain Just keep your hand upon the curtain At the corner, rain is clearing A shopkeeper is raising shutters Someone laughs beside the crossing Small proof that the world keeps turning [Pre-Chorus] Fear can build a hundred fences Hope finds the narrow gate I don't need to feel invincible To meet the day awake [Chorus] I am not the panic in my chest Not the worst thing I have guessed When the ground begins to sway I can choose a brighter way I was waiting for a sign Now I see this life is mine Let the doubt fall out of view There is more I can become, and more to do [Bridge] Let the old alarms keep ringing They don't get to steer my hands I have carried every warning Now I'll carry what I can If tomorrow brings a hard day I will meet it as it comes Hope is not a perfect feeling Hope is choosing to go on [Final Chorus] I am not the panic in my chest Not the worst thing I have guessed When the ground begins to sway I can choose a brighter way I was waiting for a sign Now I see this life is mine Let the doubt fall out of view There is more I can become, and more to do [Outro] One step more, one step more I am here, I am here One step more, one step more And the morning opens clear
