[Verse 1] I kept a map beneath the mattress Corners folded, ink gone pale Every locked and rusted passage Taught my hands to work the rail They said wait until the road is clear I heard the clock behind the wall Built a ladder out of broken years And climbed before the call [Pre-Chorus] If the gate comes down I’ll find another way If the ground gives out I’ll make my own runway [Chorus] I will make it through the pressure I will turn the doubt to weather Every barrier becomes a stair I’m still rising, I’m still there No permission, no surrender Hands are bruised but moving better What I carry cannot be denied I was made to cross the line [Verse 2] There were nights the plan looked foolish Rain came hard against the glass Still I kept the engine moving Still I gave the dark a pass Every no became a signal Every scar became a sign I don’t need the world to whistle I just need this heart of mine [Pre-Chorus] When the door stays closed I’ll build a wider frame When the fear gets loud I’ll answer with my name [Chorus] I will make it through the pressure I will turn the doubt to weather Every barrier becomes a stair I’m still rising, I’m still there No permission, no surrender Hands are bruised but moving better What I carry cannot be denied I was made to cross the line [Bridge] Let the weight come down Let the old road split I have learned the shape of courage By refusing to quit One more breath, one more motion One more spark beneath the stone I am not waiting for a doorway I am building one of my own [Final Chorus] I will make it through the pressure I will turn the doubt to weather Every barrier becomes a stair I’m still rising, I’m still there No permission, no surrender Hands are bruised but moving better What I carry cannot be denied I was made to cross the line [Outro] I was made to cross the line I was made to cross the line
