They told me to be just one flame One quiet voice, one steady name But I am thunder in disguise A thousand questions in my eyes I tried to shrink, I tried to stay Inside the lines they drew in clay But every breath I held inside Became a wave I couldn't hide No more masks, no more control I'm done pretending to be whole I am the roads, not just the path I am the echo and the laugh I am a thousand beating drums And I will dance to every one Call me chaos, call me free This is exactly who I’m meant to be Not broken — just infinitely alive A thousand selves, and all of them survive I used to fear the restless soul The part of me that changed the goal But now I see the wandering light Is just the way I hold the night I won’t apologize for change Or for the dreams I rearrange Each version of me builds the next In beautiful, uncharted steps I’m not a draft, I’m not undone I’m every version I become I am the roads, not just the path I am the echo and the laugh I am a thousand beating drums And I will dance to every one Call me chaos, call me free This is exactly who I’m meant to be Not broken — just infinitely alive A thousand selves, and all of them survive I am the crossroad and the breeze The open sea, the climbing trees I’m not the map — I am the land And I was never meant to stand I am the roads, not just the path I am the silence and the blast I am a thousand wild goodbyes And every one still makes me rise No need to fix what isn’t torn This is the way that I was born A thousand voices, one deep flame No need for shame — I own the name I am the roads… I am the wind that walks them all.
