Alarm clock screamed at five fifteen
Laced my shoes while the world still dreamed
Pavement cold beneath tired feet
But something in my chest won’t let me quit
Yesterday’s doubts like worn-out soles
But I’ve got miles left to go
I’M RUNNING TOWARD THE LIGHT I MADE!
No borrowed dreams no hand-me-down fate
Heart pounding loud through every street
This is the rhythm of my own beat
Skinned my knee on Tuesday’s rain
Got back up before the pain could stay
Wrote my name in steam on glass
Watched it fade—but I’m still here
Streetlights blink like tired eyes
But mine stay wide fixed on the rise
I’M RUNNING TOWARD THE LIGHT I MADE!
No borrowed dreams no hand-me-down fate
Heart pounding loud through every street
This is the rhythm of my own beat
They said “wait your turn ”I said “not today”
Built my wings from scraps they threw away
One breath one step one spark I keep—
Enough to wake the sky from sleep
I’M RUNNING TOWARD THE LIGHT I MADE!
No borrowed dreams no hand-me-down fate
Heart pounding loud through every street
This is the rhythm of my own beat
Keep running…
