Verse 1

You came in carrying more than you could name

A rough-cut plan and a pocket full of change

They took their shots, you let the noise roll by

Kept both feet planted, kept your aim up high

Pre-Chorus

One step, then another, make the promise real

A steady hand can turn the wheel

Chorus

Stand up tall, take your place

Every hard mile left a trace

You are more than what they say

Build your road and lead the way

Verse 2

Write your own rules on the back of yesterday

Keep what you learned, leave the rest along the way

When the door stays shut, make a better key
