[Verse 1] I used to think your word was law A blueprint drawn without a flaw Now I trace the grain upon the floor And see the wisdom that you held in store You taught me how to stand my ground In the quiet truth that you had found But every light that filters through the pane Shows me the path that you began to frame [Pre-Chorus] It’s not a weight I carry on my own It’s a foundation in the seeds you’ve sown The mirror shows the touch upon my face And I find my rhythm in your grace [Chorus] You’re the steady map of what we’ll be You’re the steady map of what we’ll be The signal clear on the frequency The guiding hand in my history More than a name, a legacy I light More than a name, a legacy I light A different version of the same old flame Burning brighter, playing a different game [Verse 2] I wore your story like a coat of mail To keep me steady when the winds would fail You smiled through the haze and the doubt Giving me the map to work it out I see the hands that held me up so high Even love needs a crown to reach the sky And every echo in this room today Is your voice guiding me along the way [Pre-Chorus] So I let the silence ring out true I’ve learned the strength that comes from you What you built is standing tall and deep And what I am is a promise that I keep [Chorus] You’re the steady map of what we’ll be You’re the steady map of what we’ll be The signal clear on the frequency The guiding hand in my history More than a name, a legacy I light More than a name, a legacy I light A different version of the same old flame Burning brighter, playing a different game [Bridge] If I walk a new path, I walk it clean Honoring the shadows that I’ve seen I wear your words like a garment made to last Building a future, learning from the past [Final Chorus] You’re the steady map of what we’ll be You’re the steady map of what we’ll be The signal clear on the frequency The guiding hand in my history More than a name, a legacy I light More than a name, a legacy I light A different version of the same old flame Burning brighter, playing a different game
