Riding in the Sky

I came from the mud where the cold rain stayed,

With a broken-down fence and a debt unpaid.

No hand reached out, no door swung wide,

I learned how to breathe with the fear inside.

Family gone quiet, the road turned rough,

Every small step felt never enough.

But I found one spark in the pouring rain,

A stubborn little heartbeat calling my name.

Now the ground falls back beneath my feet,

The clouds break open, the air tastes sweet.

I hear a drum where the silence was,

I lift my face and remember who I was.

For all the world to see, I’m riding in the sky,

Adrenaline high, with the sun in my eyes.

My life is happy now, I’m finally free,

We dance like fire—come and sing with me.

For all the world to see, no fear can make me hide,

I found love in every eye, with the whole world by my side.

My life is happy now, I’m finally free,

We dance like fire—come and sing with me.

I left those walls where the hard words grew,

Took one old bag and a sky turned blue.

The highway rolled like a silver thread,

Past the fields where the wild birds spread.

No promised map, no sheltering plan,

Just open wind and an outstretched hand.

Then strangers smiled at the roadside light,

And the lonely miles began feeling right.

Now the ground falls back beneath my feet,

The clouds break open, the air tastes sweet.

I hear a drum where the silence was,

I lift my face and remember who I was.

For all the world to see, I’m riding in the sky,

Adrenaline high, with the sun in my eyes.

My life is happy now, I’m finally free,

We dance like fire—come and sing with me.

For all the world to see, no fear can make me hide,

I found love in every eye, with the whole world by my side.

My life is happy now, I’m finally free,

We dance like fire—come and sing with me.

I don’t need the past to open every door,

I carry what it taught me, I don’t carry it anymore.

From the mud to the morning, from the dark to the flame,

Every scar became a compass, every tear became my name.

Raise your voice beside me, let the rooftops hear,

Freedom has a rhythm, and it brought us here.

For all the world to see, I’m riding in the sky,

Adrenaline high, with the sun in my eyes.

My life is happy now, I’m finally free,

We dance like fire—come and sing with me.

For all the world to see, no fear can make me hide,

I found love in every eye, with the whole world by my side.

My life is happy now, I’m finally free,

We dance like fire—come and sing with me.
