[Intro] Treehouse lounge, pull up a chair I found my footing up there [Verse 1] One mind, one heart, one fire to tend Found my own voice where the trail bends Courage in my chest, let the truth come through I tell my story in the things I do Past the Hive, past the Hut, keep my eyes ahead Past the island path where the tall brush spreads I take my notes, I remember the names Every hard mile put a mark on the page [Chorus] I stand up, speak out, let my whole heart ride I was low on strength, but I changed my stride On this rough-cut road, I kept my aim Now I walk through the storm with a spark and a name Treehouse lounge, hear the boards all sound I found myself when I quit backing down [Verse 2] The struggle was real, every step had weight Some days I arrived with my courage running late Still I kept moving, one foot, then two Found a little more grit in the things I lived through Words can tell it, actions make it plain I wrote down the losses, then I wrote down the gain No borrowed backbone, no hiding my face I learned how to claim my own little space [Bridge] I thought the road would take me under Then I found my pace inside the thunder What felt like the end was a turn in the tide I kept my own counsel and walked out alive [Chorus] I stand up, speak out, let my whole heart ride I was low on strength, but I changed my stride On this rough-cut road, I kept my aim Now I walk through the storm with a spark and a name Treehouse lounge, hear the boards all sound I found myself when I quit backing down [Outro] One mind, one heart, one passion alive I found my soul on the road I survived
