The Next Turn’s Mine

[Verse 1]
I know the turns I took to get here
The easy yes, the vanished years
A pocket full of half-kept plans
And one more match held in my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
But morning finds me at the door
With both feet on the kitchen floor
I name the damage, let it be
A map, not all that’s left of me

[Chorus]
I’m still choosing the life I want
Step by step through the things I’ve done
When old impulses call my name
I can hear them and walk away
I’m not clean of the road behind
But I’m here, and the next turn’s mine

[Verse 2]
There’s a cracked blue mug beside the sink
A friend who waits while I rethink
The promises I used to bend
A smaller truth I can defend

[Pre-Chorus]
No grand escape, no perfect start
Just one clear answer from the heart
I take the day without disguise
And leave a little room to rise

[Chorus]
I’m still choosing the life I want
Step by step through the things I’ve done
When old impulses call my name
I can hear them and walk away
I’m not clean of the road behind
But I’m here, and the next turn’s mine

[Bridge]
Let every wrong turn mark the ground
Not build a wall around me now
I owe the past an honest look
Then close that page and write my own

[Final Chorus]
I’m still choosing the life I want
Step by step through the things I’ve done
When old impulses call my name
I can hear them and walk away
I’m not clean of the road behind
But I’m here, and the next turn’s mine

[Outro]
The next turn’s mine
The next turn’s mine
