[Verse 1] You keep the old map folded in your coat A list of all the ways you might fall short But every wall was laid by someone’s hands And every door gives way when you make a stand [Pre-Chorus] Pick up the piece you thought was out of reach Set it in place, then set another piece [Chorus] Push till the shape of the world starts to bend Make what you need, make a way, make amends One small change, then another one holds You’re not here to wait—you’re here to build [Verse 2] The plan gets messy, pencil on your thumb The first try breaks; you make the next one come You learn the weight, the grain, the cost, the time Then cut a path that fits the life in mind [Pre-Chorus] Pick up the piece you thought was out of reach Set it in place, then set another piece [Chorus] Push till the shape of the world starts to bend Make what you need, make a way, make amends One small change, then another one holds You’re not here to wait—you’re here to build [Bridge] Not all at once, not clean, not easy Keep your hands moving when the view gets hazy A rough first draft can still become a home The world you want is made, not simply shown [Final Chorus] Push till the shape of the world starts to bend Make what you need, make a way, make amends One small change, then another one holds You’re not here to wait—you’re here to build [Outro] Set it in place Set another piece
