Every Breath, Every Beat

Wake up with the sunrise burning gold

Dust on my boots, but my spirit won’t fold

Every road I choose leaves a mark in the clay

I don’t need a sign when I’m living this way

Hands to the work, feet on the ground

Turn up the rhythm till the walls shake around

Let the scars tell stories, let the heartbeat prove

A life isn’t spoken by the words that we use

So when the pressure comes like thunder from the sea

I plant my roots deeper, let the real me breathe

Every breath, every beat,

let your life speak

Let it rise like a drum with a fire underneath

No need to shout, no need to preach

Every breath, every beat, let your life speak

From the mountain to the street, from the strong to the weak

Stand in the truth that you carry and keep

Every breath, every beat, let love be your calling card

I’ve seen a small kindness open iron gates

A stranger share water while the city waits

One hand on the shoulder, one voice saying “stay”

That’s how a broken heart finds its way

Now the bass rolls heavy like a train through town

And the synth climbs higher while the sun goes down

We turn doubt into motion, we turn fear into feet

With a pulse in the pavement and a song in the street

When the current pulls hard and the sky turns gray

I keep moving forward, I don’t give my name away

Every breath, every beat

Let it rise like a drum with a fire underneath

No need to shout, no need to preach

Every step, every choice,

From the mountain to the street, from the strong to the weak

Stand in the truth that you carry and keep

Every breath, every beat, let your life speak

If tomorrow asks what you stood for today

Show it the hands that you used on the way

Show it the doors that you opened wide

Show it the love you refused to hide

(Oh-oh, keep it moving)

(Oh-oh, keep it true)

The world hears more than the words we say

It hears what we do

Every breath, every beat

Let it rise like a drum with a fire underneath

No need to shout, no need to preach

Every step, every choice, let your life speak

From the mountain to the street, from the strong to the weak

Stand in the truth that you carry and keep

Every breath, every beat, let your life speak
