[intro – soft vocal sample looping “find a way…”] Yeah… Sometimes the path ain’t clear, you just build it as you go. [verse 1 – calm, conversational flow] Mama told me, “Boy, don’t wait for no sign, If the door don’t open, you can draw your own line.” Life ain’t promised, it’s a borrowed stage, And the script don’t matter if you never turn the page. I was broke in my soul, I was rich in doubt, Had a dream in my head, couldn’t figure it out. Then I learned that faith don’t move the stone, You push ‘til your hands break, then you walk alone. [pre-chorus – sung hook, soft female vocal sample underlay] (When the world don’t give, you gotta take your chance, yeah…) [chorus – melodic, reflective] If I can’t find a way, I’ll make one, Ain’t no mountain too high, I’ll face one. If the world say no, I’ll chase one, Every loss I take, I’ll replace one. Yeah, if I can’t find a way, I’ll make one, Ain’t no chain too strong, I’ll break one. Every wall they build, I’ll shake some, If I can’t find a way, I’ll make one. [verse 2 – deeper reflection, more emotion] See, I was raised by the voice of “not enough,” Where dreams get sold and hope get tough. I been sleepin’ on floors, now I dream awake, Tryna build my lane, no road to take. I been runnin’ from fear, but I learned to stop, ‘Cause every setback’s just a mountain top. They don’t tell you that grind don’t guarantee win, But it makes you the man that you’d hope you’d been. [pre-chorus – choir echo “hope you’d been…”] (Hope you’d been… hope you’d been…) [chorus – repeat, stronger with harmony layers] If I can’t find a way, I’ll make one, Ain’t no mountain too high, I’ll face one. If the world say no, I’ll chase one, Every loss I take, I’ll replace one. Yeah, if I can’t find a way, I’ll make one, Ain’t no chain too strong, I’ll break one. Every wall they build, I’ll shake some, If I can’t find a way, I’ll make one. [bridge – half-sung, half-spoken reflection] They said the world don’t owe you, and they right, But it don’t mean you can’t still fight. I don’t pray for luck, I pray for the grind, For the voice in the dark that says, “It’s time.” Yeah, I built every brick from the nights I cried, Made a road from the tears I tried. [final chorus – choir + full band crescendo] If I can’t find a way, I’ll make one, Ain’t no mountain too high, I’ll face one. If the world say no, I’ll chase one, Every loss I take, I’ll replace one. Yeah, if I can’t find a way, I’ll make one, Ain’t no chain too strong, I’ll break one. Every wall they build, I’ll shake some, If I can’t find a way, I’ll make one. [outro – piano + vinyl crackle fade] Yeah… No roads, no maps — just faith and a fire. Find a way… or make one.
