Started with sparks, and a fragile dream
Engines bursting at every seam
Scars on my hands, doubts in my head
But I held on to the hope I fed
Twenty years, through the fire and fear
Each explosion whispered, "You're near"
Not just for me, but for all who ride
Safe and swift on the other side
They called me lost, said “let it go”
But I saw futures in pistons’ glow
One idea, through pain and flame
And now the world will know my name
Now engines hum with power and grace
Across the sea, through time and space
I stayed the course, and I broke the chain
So others could move through wind and rain
