SOUL JOURNEY (Open Road Rising) Verse 1 I was born with a restless heart Dust on my boots, sky in my lungs Never meant for a quiet corner I’ve always been one of the wild ones I’ve known the weight of keeping small The careful voice, the measured tone But something deeper kept on knocking Saying, “This life is yours — own it.” ⸻ Pre-Chorus So I step out Into the wind Let the long road pull me in I don’t need all the answers now Just the courage to begin ⸻ Chorus (Strong, melodic, harmony-ready) This is my soul journey Open and wide I’ll take the long way With truth as my guide Creativity in my hands Compassion in my eyes Connection in the way I stand Coherence when I rise This is my soul journey Plain and true What moves in me Moves in you ⸻ Verse 2 I make my life an honest story Not polished clean, not safe from scars An adventure with the mystery Underneath these same old stars I will feel the hurt and healing I won’t numb what’s meant to grow Every tear is holy water Every yes a seed I sow ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 Your road bends into mine Your fire lights my way From my soul into your soul We are stronger every day ⸻ Chorus (Bigger, layered harmonies) This is our soul journey Strong and slow Through the high tide Through the low Creativity leads the way Compassion keeps us kind Connection makes us brave Coherence clears the mind This is our soul journey Hand in hand We are learning How to stand ⸻ Bridge (Harmony-rich, stripped back) We don’t have to be unbreakable We don’t have to be alone We just have to keep on walking Toward the truth we’ve always known ⸻ Final Chorus (Lift, harmonies bloom) This is our soul journey Wild and free From who we were To who we’ll be Creativity in our song Compassion in our tone Connection in the miles we walk Coherence brings us home This is our soul journey Clear and true What moves in me Moves in you
