[Intro] Yeah, pull the chair up, let the room get still I came with a page and a stubborn will [Verse 1] Notebook bent in the pocket of my coat Bus pass folded by a half-finished note I learned every corner where the late trains turn Kept a small flame while the cheap lights burned They counted my chances, I counted the days Built one clean step out of crooked hallways Now when I speak, every sentence lands No borrowed crown, just these calloused hands [Chorus] I’m still here, still moving, still making my way Turned a locked door into part of the stage If the road gets steep, I don’t wait for a sign Put the doubt in the back and the work in the line Still here, still moving, hear the whole room say What you build in the dark can be yours in the day [Verse 2] Lunch on a bench, phone cracked in the rain Sent three more pages from a borrowed train Every small no put steel in my spine Every late shift bought another thin line I don’t need applause from a room full of smoke Give me one honest ear and a promise I wrote When the floor starts shaking, I tighten the lace Look straight at the pressure and widen my pace [Bridge] Tell me what remains when the noise fades out The work, the word, the nerve, the route No shortcut shine, no paper parade Just proof in the marks that the long nights made [Chorus] I’m still here, still moving, still making my way Turned a locked door into part of the stage If the road gets steep, I don’t wait for a sign Put the doubt in the back and the work in the line Still here, still moving, hear the whole room say What you build in the dark can be yours in the day [Outro] Page by page, step by step No looking back, not finished yet
