[Verse 1] I kept a map in my coat Folded, frayed at the edge I chased a pin on the page Like it could give me a pledge Every turn took my name Every mile took its share I was looking for "then" And I was already there [Pre-Chorus] Then the road went quiet And I heard it call Not the end I wanted Just the truth in all [Chorus] There was never a destination There was never a line to cross The journey was the signal Even when I got lost There was never a destination Just the breath between the stars I am not done becoming I am here, I am here as I am [Verse 2] Saw my face in the glass At a station in rain Not the one I once knew But I felt no shame All those names I outgrew All the things I outran They were stones in my pocket Now they're part of my hands [Pre-Chorus] And the further I went The more I could see I was not running from life Life was running with me [Chorus] There was never a destination There was never a line to cross The journey was the signal Even when I got lost There was never a destination Just the breath between the stars I am not done becoming I am here, I am here as I am [Bridge] Maybe peace is a door That stays open in the wind Maybe home is a motion We keep learning to live in So I lay down the need To arrive, to be through What if the wide-open road Was the answer all along? [Final Chorus] There was never a destination There was never a line to cross The journey was the signal Even when I got lost There was never a destination And I don't need to know why I am not done becoming I am alive, I am alive, I am alive
