My own way

I've been told since day one
"Play it safe, don't you run"
Warnings whispered in my ear
tales of everything to fear
But if I'd listened every time
wouldn't have this mountain climbed
Now I stand here in my space
found my pace, won my race

Every "no" and every "stop"
Pushed me harder to the top
Your doubt, it fueled my fire
Turned my silence into a choir

Let me be, this is my road
Carved my path, I bear the load
Dead ends, one-ways, seen a few
But I always find my avenue
Back to the highway, back to the chase
In my heart, I know my place
Let me be, let me stray
I'm finding my own way

Warnings came like falling rain
"Stay safe, avoid the pain"
But I danced through stormy weather
Each challenge faced, no need to tether
On roads less travelled, I found my tune
Dancing under the pale moon

There's beauty in the struggle, stories in the scars
Each misstep a lesson, these wounds have turned to stars
I'm mapping out my journey, in landscapes that I choose
My spirit's undeterred, got nothing left to lose

Every "no" and every "stop"
Pushed me harder to the top
Your doubt, it fueled my fire
Turned my silence into a choir

Let me be, this is my road
Carved my path, I bear the load
Dead ends, one-ways, seen a few
But I always find my avenue
Back to the highway, back to the chase
In my heart, I know my place
Let me be, let me stray
I'm finding my own way

So here's to the rebel hearts, taking a stand
Drawing their maps with steady hands
Hear me loud, hear me say
I'll always find my own way
