[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
Style of Music
Uplifting indie pop-rock with a brisk, steady 4/4 groove; bright acoustic guitar strums and rounded bass establish the verse, with tight live drums entering gradually. Build into a wide, melodic chorus with ringing electric-guitar accents, warm stacked harmonies, and a confident lead vocal. Give the pre-chorus a rising harmonic lift, pull back briefly before the final chorus, then finish with a resolved instrumental tag. Clear, natural vocal production and punchy, spacious mix.
