[Intro – jangly guitar riff, soft shaker] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – gentle strummed guitar, subtle drum beat] I’ve been staring at the same four walls Wondering where the quiet calls Footsteps fading down the hall I’m ready to break the small, small fall [Pre-Chorus – building tambourine, rising bass] Tired of waiting for the right time Tired of hiding from the sunlight I’m gonna step out of the shadow line Leave the old me far behind [Chorus – full band, bright harmonies, upbeat rhythm] I’ll be the way, the light, the open door I’ll be the one to walk where fear won’t go anymore No more doubt, no more what ifs on the floor I’ll be the way, the way I’ve been waiting for [Verse 2 – layered guitar, steady snare] I passed the sign that said “turn back” Laughed at the voice that made me slack Picked up my shoes and fixed my pack Gonna follow the track that leads to where I’m at [Pre-Chorus 2 – louder tambourine, driving bass] Tired of listening to the noise Tired of making empty choices I’m gonna find my own sweet voice Fill the world with my own rejoice [Chorus 2 – intensified drums, soaring harmonies] I’ll be the way, the spark, the open road I’ll be the one to carry hope where the cold wind blows No more chains, no more heavy, heavy load I’ll be the way, the way I’ve always known [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft vocals] The path is rough, the sky is gray But I won’t let the darkness stay One step at a time, day by day I’ll light the way, come what may [Solo – jangly guitar solo, warm reverb] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus 3 – full band, maximum energy, crowd clap] I’ll be the way, the fire, the open sky I’ll be the one to reach for stars when the world says “don’t try” No more quiet, no more letting the moment die I’ll be the way, the way, the way I’m meant to be alive [Outro – fading guitar, soft shaker] I’ll be the way, always true I’ll be the way for me and you
