Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I’m forty three and still feel sixteen Still chasing things I ain’t never seen Built my name on broken nights Trading peace just to feel alright I climbed every rung they pointed to Said “get up here and you’ll break through” But every time I touch that line It moves another mile Pre-Chorus I keep my eyes on something far Never look back at where we are Chorus I keep running toward a moving sun Every win just shows me one More hill, more road, more sky to climb I keep missing the good part trying to beat the time I thought the top was the finish line But the beauty’s in the climb ⸻ Verse 2 Got scars that paid the bills I owe Some wins I don’t even celebrate no more I thought the top would quiet my mind But the higher I get, the louder it gets inside I shook hands with who I wanted to be He looked tired, just like me Said “slow down, you’re doing fine You’re alive, you’re alive” Pre-Chorus Every dream I tried to chase Left footprints I forgot to face Chorus I keep running toward a moving sun Every win just shows me one More hill, more road, more sky to climb I keep missing the good part trying to beat the time I thought the top was the finish line But the beauty’s in the climb ⸻ Bridge If this ladder never ends If the target’s always ten feet ahead Then maybe I was wrong all along Maybe this road is the song Maybe the sweat, maybe the doubt Maybe the nights I almost bowed out Maybe the miles between then and now That’s what it’s all about ⸻ Final Chorus I’m still running toward a moving sun Still learning how to call it done Still got hills, still got sky to climb But I’m done stealing tomorrow from today this time I thought the top was the finish line But the beauty’s in the climb Outro Forty three and still climbing on And that don’t mean I’m wrong
