Title: “New Road” ⸻ (soft vocals) Oh-oh-oh Yeah, yeah Came a long way Ain’t looking back now ⸻ Verse 1 Used to chase the night Never cared about the cost Running through the city Didn’t know that I was lost Money on my mind But my soul was running low Smiling for the crowd While I fought what they don’t know Late nights Wrong roads Trying to find a sign Everybody eating But nobody feeling fine Had to slow it down Had to learn who I could trust Some people only love you When you’re shining with the dust ⸻ Pre-Chorus Now I see the picture From a different point of view Everything I wanted Started coming when I grew Had to leave the noise Had to focus on my lane Turned my deepest losses Into lessons from the pain ⸻ Chorus Oh-oh-oh I’m on a new road Headed somewhere better Storms came through But they couldn’t change the weather Oh-oh-oh Built myself up When the world said I would fall Now I’m standing taller Than I ever stood at all Hands to the sky I got nothing left to prove Every step I take Got a purpose in the move Still got love For the place that made me strong But I know where I’m going So I’m moving on ⸻ Verse 2 Dreaming of a house Where the ocean meets the sand A real one by my side Someone who will understand Not the type to disappear When the pressure starts to rise Someone who can see the truth Behind my tired eyes Remember all the bets All the nights we couldn’t sleep Talking about the future While the bills were running deep Everybody wants the glory Few survive the fight That’s why I keep my circle small And keep my vision right ⸻ Pre-Chorus Every scar I carry Got a story of its own Every setback pushed me closer To the women I’ve become I don’t need approval I don’t need fake applause I’d rather build a legacy Than chase a temporary cause ⸻ Chorus Oh-oh-oh I’m on a new road Headed somewhere better Storms came through But they couldn’t change the weather Oh-oh-oh Built myself up When the world said I would fall Now I’m standing taller Than I ever stood at all Hands to the sky I got nothing left to prove Every step I take Got a purpose in the move Still got love For the place that made me strong But I know where I’m going So I’m moving on ⸻ Bridge Ooooooh Yeah, yeah Ooooooh If the road gets dark I’ll remember where I’ve been Every loss Every win Made me who I am within And the people that stayed When the lights were gone Know we’ll celebrate together When the daylight comes ⸻ Final Chorus Oh-oh-oh I’m on a new road Ain’t no turning back now Used to feel trapped But I’m breaking out now Every dream I carried Finally coming into sight I’ve been through the shadows Now I’m stepping into light Mm-mm-mm Here’s to every chapter And the people I love most Never forget the struggle Never forget the climb Now I’m living for the moment And the rest of my life ⸻ (fading vocals) Oh-oh-oh Yeah, yeah New road New life Ain’t looking back now Ain’t looking back now
