Staying the Course

Verse 1

These last few days I’ve been walking

on a wire between two worlds—

one where I repeat my patterns,

one where something higher stirs.

Old temptations call my name,

same decisions, same escape,

but my higher self keeps saying,

“Don’t go back to what you prayed to break.”

Pre-Chorus

It reminds me, “You’re not stuck here,

you’re just close to breaking through.

When the cycle feels the strongest,

that’s the moment it fears you.”

Chorus

I am staying the course

when everything in me wants to run.

I am holding my line

when old stories tell me I’m done.

I won’t chase the little highs

that always cost me so much more,

I will breathe and see the long game—

I was made for something more.

I don’t need to see the map

to know I’m guided by this force;

even in the lows and highs,

I am choosing

staying the course.

Verse 2

There’s a gravity to comfort

that can feel like being safe,

but it keeps me in a circle

far from what is truly mine to taste.

Ego whispers, “Take the shortcut,

you deserve to feel okay,”

but my soul shows me the future

that I lose if I obey.

Pre-Chorus

“Zoom out from this single moment,

look beyond this passing ache—

being shortsighted is expensive

when your purpose is at stake.”

Chorus

I am staying the course,

even shaking in my skin.

I am learning how to match

my higher frequency within.

When the urge to self‑sabotage

tries to drag me to the floor,

I remember why I started

and I lock the higher door.

I don’t have to fix it all,

I just have to take one step forward—

trusting that the unseen hand

is still working in my favor.

Bridge

Breaking cycles isn’t pretty,

it’s a quiet, holy war—

saying “no” to what once saved you

so it can’t own you anymore.

But on the other side of habit,

on the other side of fear,

is a version of your spirit

that’s been waiting to appear.

Tag

Higher self, keep me steady

when my vision starts to blur,

help me see the bigger picture

and remember what I’m worth.

Final Chorus

I am staying the course

when the timing feels unknown.

I am trusting that the seeds I’ve sown

will one day call me “home.”

I won’t measure by the panic,

I’ll align with what is real—

with the truth that even now

everything is being healed.

When I feel I’m losing grip,

I will come back to this truth:

it is all under control—

and I am still

staying the course.

Outro

So if tomorrow looks the same,

I’ll still walk this higher line,

’cause the change is in my choosing,

not just in the finish sign.
