I'm On My Way

[Verse 1]
Alarm clock ringing, sun on the floor
Packed up my bags, I am walking out the door
Left all the doubt in the back of my mind
Leaving the heavy and gray far behind

[Pre-Chorus]
And my heart starts to beat to a brand-new sound
One small step and I’m off the ground
I don’t need to know where this road will bend
I just know I’m ready to begin

[Chorus]
I’m on my way, with the morning wide open
A little less afraid with every mile I go
I’ll take the long road, I’ll take it unbroken
There’s a life ahead that I’m ready to know
I’m on my way, and I’m not turning around

[Verse 2]
The old front gate gave a familiar squeak
I waved to the neighbor who watered my weeks
A paper map folded beside me on the seat
The town slipped away to the hush of the trees

[Pre-Chorus]
And my heart starts to beat to a brand-new sound
One small step and I’m off the ground
I don’t need to know where this road will bend
I just know I’m ready to begin

[Chorus]
I’m on my way, with the morning wide open
A little less afraid with every mile I go
I’ll take the long road, I’ll take it unbroken
There’s a life ahead that I’m ready to know
I’m on my way, and I’m not turning around

[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll miss the kitchen window light
The chipped blue mug and the porch at night
But I can carry what I need inside
And make a home wherever I arrive

[Final Chorus]
I’m on my way, with the morning wide open
A little more alive with every mile I go
I’ll take the long road, my hands finally open
There’s a life ahead and I’m ready to know
I’m on my way, and I’m not turning around
I’m on my way, with both feet on the ground

[Outro]
Both feet on the ground
I’m on my way
