Step by Step

[Verse 1]
I woke with a map folded under my tongue
Three wrong turns marked where the day had begun
The room leaned left, the ceiling refused
I chased every thought till the trail came loose

[Pre-Chorus]
Then a small red thread through the clutter appeared
Not a voice from above, just a signal I could hear

[Chorus]
Step by step, I can find my way
Past the rooms my restless mind remakes
If I lose the line, I will draw it again
Turn the doubt into a road, let the road begin
Step by step, with my feet on the floor
I am not the maze I was inside before

[Verse 2]
I counted the tiles by the old kitchen sink
Gave each one a name, gave myself time to think
A neighbor's blue bicycle leaned by the gate
Proof that the world keeps a place while I wait

[Pre-Chorus]
So I follow one breath, then another one through
The path does not vanish just because I lose view

[Chorus]
Step by step, I can find my way
Past the rooms my restless mind remakes
If I lose the line, I will draw it again
Turn the doubt into a road, let the road begin
Step by step, with my feet on the floor
I am not the maze I was inside before

[Bridge]
No grand sign, no perfect answer
Just a hand on the rail, just a slower center
When the noise starts pulling me wide
I choose the next small thing, and I walk inside

[Final Chorus]
Step by step, I can find my way
Past the rooms my restless mind remakes
If I lose the line, I will draw it again
Turn the doubt into a road, let the road begin
Step by step, with my feet on the floor
I am not the maze I was inside before
I am not the maze I was inside before

[Outro]
One clear breath, one open door
The mind can wander; I can choose the floor
