[Intro] Yeah—feet set, chin up One breath, then we run [Verse 1] Cold tap water, lace pulled tight Bus glass shakes in the early light You said, “Wait till the road gets clear” I said, “Clear roads never brought us here” Old coat, loose thread, keys in my hand We built this climb from a scrap of a plan Step by step, every doubt gets small I don’t need easy—I just need all [Pre-Chorus] When the first wall rises, lean in When the legs burn, begin again You know the word I came here to say— Not today, not today [Chorus] We don’t fold, we don’t fade We make a way from the ground we laid Hands up high, let the whole room know If the door stays shut, we go through the wall We don’t fold, we don’t fade We keep that promise we already made Say it loud, let the doubt fall back— No way out but forward, no turning back [Verse 2] Quick mind, quick feet, eyes on the mark I learned my nerve in a basement dark Rent due Friday, plans due now I kept my word, so I kept my vow You had a bad week, I know that face Come take my shoulder, we’ll hold our place No borrowed crown, no easy win Just sweat on the shirt and the will to begin [Pre-Chorus] When the first wall rises, lean in When the legs burn, begin again You know the word I came here to say— Not today, not today [Chorus] We don’t fold, we don’t fade We make a way from the ground we laid Hands up high, let the whole room know If the door stays shut, we go through the wall We don’t fold, we don’t fade We keep that promise we already made Say it loud, let the doubt fall back— No way out but forward, no turning back [Bridge] One for the miles, two for the tries Three for the ones who stood by our side You take the lead, I’ll cover the rear We’re still right here, we’re still right here [Final Chorus] We don’t fold, we don’t fade We make a way from the ground we laid Hands up high, let the whole room know If the door stays shut, we go through the wall We don’t fold, we don’t fade We keep that promise we already made Say it loud, let the doubt fall back— No way out but forward, no turning back [Outro] No turning back No turning back
