# POTHOLE V — BEYOND FEAR

## “Where Do We Go From Here?”

### Duet — Under 3 Minutes

[Intro — Voice A]
There it is.

[Voice B]
I see it.

[Voice A]
I'm not afraid.

[Voice B]
Then keep walking.

[Verse 1 — Voice A]
I passed the place that held me,
Didn't stop, didn't hide,
No racing heart, no trembling hands—
I simply walked beside.

I dreamed about this moment,
I thought that I'd feel free,
But now the road is open...

Where does that leave me?

[Voice B]
You spent so long surviving,
With one thing left to do—
But when the fight grows quiet,
You finally meet you.

[Pre-Chorus — Alternating]
[Voice A]
No fear to run from.

[Voice B]
Then what do you run toward?

[Voice A]
I never asked that question.

[Voice B]
Maybe now you can.

[Chorus — Duet]
[Voice A]
Where do we go from here,
Now the road is clear?

[Voice B]
Anywhere you choose,
There's more than fear.

[Voice A]
I learned how to survive—

[Voice B]
Now learn what makes you alive.

[Both]
The road doesn't end
When the darkness disappears.
Maybe freedom isn't knowing—
Maybe freedom is choosing
Where we go from here.

[Verse 2 — Voice B]
What did you love before the fall?
What makes you lose all sense of time?
What would you try if fear no longer
Got to choose your life?

[Voice A]
Maybe I'll paint.
Maybe I'll travel.
Maybe I'll love without asking why.

[Voice B]
Maybe you don't need the answer.

[Voice A]
Maybe I just need to try.

[Bridge — Call & Response]
[Voice A]
Who am I without the fight?

[Voice B]
Still becoming.

[Voice A]
What if I choose wrong?

[Voice B]
Choose again.

[Voice A]
What if I don't know the way?

[Voice B]
That's what roads are for.

[Final Chorus — Duet]
[Voice A]
Where do we go from here?

[Voice B]
Somewhere we've never been.

[Voice A]
For once I'm not escaping.

[Voice B]
You're beginning again.

[Both]
We learned how to survive,
Now let's discover being alive.

The road is wide,
The sky is clear—
And for the first time,
We choose where we go from here.

[Outro — Voice A]
The pothole's behind us.

[Voice B]
The road's ahead.

[Both]
We'll walk and grow together.
