Cross The Line

[Verse 1]
I kept a map beneath the mattress
Corners folded, ink gone pale
Every locked and rusted passage
Taught my hands to work the rail

They said wait until the road is clear
I heard the clock behind the wall
Built a ladder out of broken years
And climbed before the call

[Pre-Chorus]
If the gate comes down
I’ll find another way
If the ground gives out
I’ll make my own runway

[Chorus]
I will make it through the pressure
I will turn the doubt to weather
Every barrier becomes a stair
I’m still rising, I’m still there

No permission, no surrender
Hands are bruised but moving better
What I carry cannot be denied
I was made to cross the line

[Verse 2]
There were nights the plan looked foolish
Rain came hard against the glass
Still I kept the engine moving
Still I gave the dark a pass

Every no became a signal
Every scar became a sign
I don’t need the world to whistle
I just need this heart of mine

[Pre-Chorus]
When the door stays closed
I’ll build a wider frame
When the fear gets loud
I’ll answer with my name

[Chorus]
I will make it through the pressure
I will turn the doubt to weather
Every barrier becomes a stair
I’m still rising, I’m still there

No permission, no surrender
Hands are bruised but moving better
What I carry cannot be denied
I was made to cross the line

[Bridge]
Let the weight come down
Let the old road split
I have learned the shape of courage
By refusing to quit

One more breath, one more motion
One more spark beneath the stone
I am not waiting for a doorway
I am building one of my own

[Final Chorus]
I will make it through the pressure
I will turn the doubt to weather
Every barrier becomes a stair
I’m still rising, I’m still there

No permission, no surrender
Hands are bruised but moving better
What I carry cannot be denied
I was made to cross the line

[Outro]
I was made to cross the line
I was made to cross the line
