[Verse 1] I drew a line on the wall Called it the end of my reach Kept my hands in my pockets While the lesson stayed out of speech Then I watched someone try With their knees in the dust Not a promise, not magic Just a small stubborn trust [Pre-Chorus] The ceiling isn't concrete It's a number I repeat Every time I call it higher My feet remember how to leap [Chorus] I had to see it in my mind Before my hands could make it real I had to stand inside the answer Before I knew what I could feel The roof is only where I stop The edge is only what I choose I raise the height, I take the shot I become the proof [Verse 2] I kept a chair by the doorway For the doubt to sit and stare It counted every failure Like it owned the vacant air I missed, I broke, I started With the same two shaking knees But each attempt moved the border Of the person I could be [Pre-Chorus] The ceiling isn't concrete It's a number I repeat Every time I call it higher My feet remember how to leap [Chorus] I had to see it in my mind Before my hands could make it real I had to stand inside the answer Before I knew what I could feel The roof is only where I stop The edge is only what I choose I raise the height, I take the shot I become the proof [Bridge] No one can lend me the vision No one can carry the climb I put a mark above the old one Then leave the old mark behind If I can name the distance I can learn the shape of the move Belief is not the finish It's the first thing I can prove [Final Chorus] I had to see it in my mind Before my hands could make it real I had to stand inside the answer Before I knew what I could feel The roof is only where I stop The edge is only what I choose I raise the height, I take the shot I become the proof [Outro] Higher than the mark I made Higher than the mark I made I decide the ceiling I decide the ceiling
