I don't need Monday to make a decision. This year ain't finished. Neither am I. [Chorus — Epic melody, screamed responses] GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME! (BUT THEY START TODAY!) Put my foot down hard— I won't give this year away! Maybe this ain't the year I become all I planned, But it'll be the year I took a stand! First step forward or a thousand behind— WE KEEP MARCHING! ONE DAY AT A TIME! Beyond the countdown, beyond that climb— I KEEP BUILDING! THIS LIFE IS MINE! [Intro — Repeated] I don't need midnight to give me permission. I don't need Monday to make a decision. This year ain't finished. Neither am I. Neither am I. [Verse 1 — Rhythmic rap, building guitars] Back in May, put my feet on the ground, Had to move with the doubt still hanging around. No sudden awakening, no thunderous sign, Just a first little step in a life still mine. Late July, put more weight in the vow, Changed what I ate to support what I'd found. Exercise started the wheels in motion, Now I was backing the work with devotion. September came, put a frame on the vision, Less negotiation, more daily decisions. Anchoring down what I want to become, Learning to march when the thrill goes numb. Still got cracks, still got ground to cover, Still meet resistance when I pull back the covers. But the roots run deep before branches rise, And a seed ain't dead just 'cause dirt hides the sky. [Pre-Chorus — Rising melodic vocal] I can't demand the harvest when I've only worked the land. But I can give tomorrow something solid where I stand. Let the last leaves fall, let the cold winds climb— I can start today and still give greatness time! [Chorus — Epic melody, screamed responses] GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME! (BUT THEY START TODAY!) Put my foot down hard— I won't give this year away! Maybe this ain't the year I become all I planned, But it'll be the year I took a stand! First step forward or a thousand behind— WE KEEP MARCHING! ONE DAY AT A TIME! [Verse 2 — Fast rap, tight syncopation] I used to put a date on a change, then delay it, Get a taste of relief every time I would say it. Next week, next month, when the pressure lets go— But the calendar moved while I stayed in the same row. Now the phone goes down and the next task starts, Put a little more truth in these big remarks. Twenty quiet minutes with my hands on the work Beat a whole night dreaming of what I deserve. No crowd in the room, no camera to feed, Just a check by a promise I managed to keep. Some days I build, some days I repair, Some days the win is returning with care. A stumble ain't an order to abandon the road, I can shorten the stride without dropping the load. Rest when I need it, then shoulder the weight— I'm done making perfect the price of the gate. [Pre-Chorus — Melodic build, double-kick rising] I can't demand the harvest when I've only worked the land. But I can give tomorrow something solid where I stand. Let the last leaves fall, let the cold winds climb— I can start today and still give greatness time! [Chorus — Epic melody, screamed responses] GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME! (BUT THEY START TODAY!) Put my foot down hard— I won't give this year away! Maybe this ain't the year I become all I planned, But it'll be the year I took a stand! First step forward or a thousand behind— WE KEEP MARCHING! ONE DAY AT A TIME! [Instrumental Solo] [Soaring guitar over marching drums and ascending synths] [Verse 3 — Heavy deliberate rap] What happens when the mirror shows the work paid off? When the hill gets gentle, do I call that enough? Can't leave a home to the rain and the rust, Then act surprised when the beams give up. What I build needs tending, what I learn needs use, Can't retire every habit that carried me through. There's no final bell where the effort expires, Just a steadier hand that can look after the fire. This ain't punishment, this ain't a phase, This is how I intend to spend my days. Train, eat, sleep, put my mind where I choose, Make room for a life I don't need to escape through. And when December closes, whatever I've gained, I'll carry the practice across with my name. Let the next year find me already on track— With a life worth tending and the will to come back. [Bridge — Sparse synth, intimate melodic vocal] Someone takes their first step tonight, Someone keeps a long march alive. Different distances, same sunrise, Both have a reason to keep that fire. I may not reach the summit this year, But I'll leave my footprints here. [Breakdown — Half-time chugs, guttural screams] NO MORE WAITING FOR MONDAY! (NO MORE!) NO MORE WAITING FOR MIDNIGHT! (NO MORE!) DRIVE THE ANCHORS DEEP! GIVE THE ROOTS THEIR TIME! I WILL KEEP WHAT I BUILD WITH THE WAY I LIVE MY LIFE! [Final Chorus — Full choir, soaring lead, screamed accents] GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME! (BUT THEY START TODAY!) Put my foot down hard— I won't give this year away! Maybe this ain't the year I become all I planned, But it'll be the year I took a stand! First step forward or a thousand behind— WE KEEP MARCHING! ONE DAY AT A TIME! Beyond the countdown, beyond that climb— I KEEP BUILDING! THIS LIFE IS MINE! [Instrumental Outro] [Marching drums continue beneath fading guitar and synth]
