A Wider Road

[Verse 1]
You keep the old map folded in your coat
The paper's soft where every road was drawn
But all the ink has blurred beneath the rain
And every mile says what you know is gone

[Pre-Chorus]
You can hold the door against the dawn
Or turn the handle, step into the day

[Chorus]
Move with the world, let the old walls fall
Make room for the life you haven't lived at all
Take what you learned, leave the rust behind
A wider road is waiting when you change your mind

[Verse 2]
Your father's watch still ticks against your wrist
Its hands insist the hour never moved
But you have grown beyond that narrow room
And every hard-earned scar has something proved

[Pre-Chorus]
You can guard the shape you used to be
Or build a better place to stand

[Chorus]
Move with the world, let the old walls fall
Make room for the life you haven't lived at all
Take what you learned, leave the rust behind
A wider road is waiting when you change your mind

[Breakdown]
The gate is open
The ground is new
The past is a teacher
Not a place to live through

[Final Chorus]
Move with the world, let the old walls fall
Make room for the life you haven't lived at all
Take what you learned, leave the rust behind
A wider road is waiting when you change your mind
Move with the world, let the old walls fall
You are not the years that held you small
Carry the lesson, let the rest unwind
There's a wider road—step out and find

[Outro]
Step out and find
A wider road
