Notebook in His Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Born in a place where the winters hit cold, Young kid with a story that he couldn't hold, Moving town to town, trying to find his lane, Carrying heavy thoughts, carrying pain. A mother and a son, a complicated past, Trying to outrun shadows that were chasing him fast, Found a microphone, found a way to speak, Turned all the hurt into something unique. [Pre-Chorus] Writing every night till the page wore thin, Little by little, let the light back in, If the world said "no," he would still say "yes," Kept a dream alive in a worn-out chest. [Chorus] From a kid with a dream And a notebook in his hand From a kid with a dream He made the whole world stand Voice shaking the sky Still he took his stand From a kid with a dream And a notebook in his hand [Verse 2] Late-night buses and the weight of doubt, Every wrong turn tried to knock him out, But the words came hard like a heartbeat drum, One line at a time, he was never done. Old fears fading in the rearview glass, Name in the lights, but he never moved fast, Kept the same soul with a little more fire, Built from the floor, then he climbed up higher. [Pre-Chorus] Writing every night till the page wore thin, Little by little, let the light back in, If the world said "no," he would still say "yes", Kept a dream alive in a worn-out chest. [Chorus] From a kid with a dream And a notebook in his hand From a kid with a dream He made the whole world stand Voice shaking the sky Still he took his stand From a kid with a dream And a notebook in his hand [Bridge] And every scar became a spark, Every loss turned into art, He was never built to fold, He was built to tell the dark. [Final Chorus] From a kid with a dream And a notebook in his hand From a kid with a dream He made the whole world stand Voice shaking the sky Still he took his stand From a kid with a dream And a notebook in his hand
