Fire in My Footsteps

[Instrumental Intro]
[Driving hand percussion and bass pulse]
[Plucked-string motif enters]
[No vocals]

[Verse 1]
I kept my voice beneath the weather
I held my plans behind a door
But every step became a promise
I don’t hide myself anymore

I let the doubt fall from my shoulders
I let the old road disappear
The rhythm finds me where I’m standing
And tells me I can take it from here

[Pre-Chorus]
One heartbeat
One more step
I’m not finished yet

[Chorus]
I’ve got fire in my footsteps
Thunder in my chest
Every road that tried to stop me
Led me somewhere I could rise

I’ve got fire in my footsteps
Nothing left to prove
When the drum begins to call me
I remember how to move

[Instrumental Groove]
[Full bass and percussion]
[Plucked-string hook repeats]
[No vocals]

[Verse 2]
I see the colour coming back now
I hear the morning in the drums
I’m not waiting for permission
I’m already on the run

The ground is moving underneath me
The open sky is wide and clear
I take the space that I was given
I bring my whole heart with me here

[Pre-Chorus]
One heartbeat
One more step
I’m not finished yet

[Chorus]
I’ve got fire in my footsteps
Thunder in my chest
Every road that tried to stop me
Led me somewhere I could rise

I’ve got fire in my footsteps
Nothing left to prove
When the drum begins to call me
I remember how to move

[Percussion Break]
[Lead vocal calls; group answers]

Lead: Are you ready?
Group: We are ready!
Lead: Can you feel it?
Group: Feel it rising!
Lead: Keep on moving!
Group: Keep on moving!
Lead: Take your moment!
Group: Take it now!

[Bridge]
I rise with the rhythm
I rise with the sound
I rise every time
I get back off the ground

I move with the rhythm
I move with the sound
I carry my future
Wherever I’m bound

[Final Chorus]
I’ve got fire in my footsteps
Thunder in my chest
Every road that tried to stop me
Led me somewhere I could rise

I’ve got fire in my footsteps
Nothing left to prove
When the drum begins to call me
I remember how to move

[Outro Hook]
Fire in my footsteps
Fire in my footsteps
I remember how to move

[Extended Instrumental Outro]
[Driving percussion and bass gradually strip back]
[No vocals]
