Verse 1

You kept the key beneath the flowerpot

The one we hid beside the old front steps

I found it when the landlord changed the lock

And took the long way home to catch my breath

Pre-Chorus

I used to wait for someone else to choose

Now every door swings wide when I decide

Chorus

I’m not asking for a place at the table

I’m bringing every chair I need

I’ve got both hands steady, heart wide open

And a road that’s waiting under me

If the hill is steep, I’ll take it higher

If I fall, I’ll rise with all I’ve learned

I am more than what I had to carry

Watch me make this hard-won moment burn
