Redemption Road

[Verse 1]
I used to lie, used to cheat, used to run
From the wreckage I caused, from the damage I’d done
Chasing power, chasing pride, in the dark
Left a trail of broken hearts and shattered sparks

[Pre-Chorus]
But the silence got louder every night
And my soul began to lose the fight
The mirror showed a man I didn’t know
So I packed my sins, it’s time to go

[Chorus – Anthemic]
I’m walking down redemption road
One step at a time, letting go
Of the man I used to be
I’m chasing who I want to see
I can’t erase the scars I’ve made
But I can choose to change today
This time I won’t implode
I'm walking down redemption road

[Instrumental Break – Uplifting melody with synth stabs, rising pads, and a steady kick]

[Verse 2]
I called the names I used to block
Said I'm sorry, even when they wouldn’t talk
I faced the pain, I faced the shame
It nearly crushed me, but I stayed

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the dawn feels like a second chance
To rewrite life with trembling hands
It’s not about who I was before
It’s who I fight to be and more

[Chorus – Anthemic]
I’m walking down redemption road
One step at a time, letting go
Of the man I used to be
I’m chasing who I want to see
I can’t erase the scars I’ve made
But I can choose to change today
This time I won’t implode
I'm walking down redemption road

[Bridge – Emotional slow-down, minimal backing]
Not every story gets a clean restart
But I can love with a brand-new heart
Forgiveness isn’t something owed
But I’ll earn it on redemption road

[Final Chorus – Drop back in, massive melody, harmonies added]
I’m walking down redemption road
One step at a time, letting go
Of the man I used to be
I’m chasing who I want to see
I can’t erase the scars I’ve made
But I can choose to change today
With hope in every load
I'm walking down redemption road

[Outro – Instrumental fade with warm pads and light echoes of “redemption road”]
