The Road Beneath

The Road Beneath [Verse 1] I walk the road that no one else can see The kind that only forms beneath your feet I've never known where it would carry me But every step reveals the ground beneath [Verse 2] I've stood in places where the maps run dry Where every compass needle points to none And still I moved beneath the open sky Not toward the light — but trusting in the sun [Verse 3] There is no proof that morning follows dark No guarantee the path was ever free But something older than my doubt and fear Has always known the road before knew me [Verse 4] I do not ask for certainty or sign I need no answer written plain and clear I only know this life I walk is mine And what I walk toward always will appear [Chorus] I have been lost in ways I cannot name I have stood still so long I learned to rust But something in me always burned the same A quiet fire I had no choice but trust [Verse 5] I walk without knowing what waits at the end I go without seeing what lies past the turn The road is not straight — but it learns how to bend And I am the one who was made to return [Outro] I do not need the morning to be sure I do not need the answer to arrive The road appears to those who will endure And I will walk — because I am alive
