Eyes to the stars, feet on the pavement
Heart heavy, thoughts thick, no room for arrangement
Complacency's a chain, gotta break from the comfort
Dreams ain't sky-high if you keep your head under
Dreamin' 'til we die, can't live sedated
Eyes wide open, hearts elevated
Face the next trial, strong, undebated
Raise your head to God, ain't nothin’ outdated
Complaints like whispers that poison the mind
Giving up quickly; the easiest bind
But I’m chasing that height, hands scrappin' the summit
With dreams of you livin’ deep in my stomach
Every step forward feels harder than the last
Carryin’ weights from the failures of my past
But I straighten my back, soul lightin' the dark
The higher the climb, the brighter the spark
Dreamin' 'til we die, can't live sedated
Eyes wide open, hearts elevated
Face the next trial, strong, undebated
Raise your head to God, ain’t nothin’ outdated
Clouds ain't ceilings, just hurdles to leap
Each tear that I spilled was water for seeds
Trials we meet like bricks in the foundation
For castles we build in life’s translation
