​(Verse 1)

​(Verse 1) The coffee’s cold, the sky is bruised and grey Another morning trading "maybe" for "today." You’re looking in the mirror at a stranger’s face Counting every stumble, feeling out of place. But foundations aren't built upon the sun They’re laid in the dark before the work is done. ​(Pre-Chorus) So take the breath you didn’t think you had left And find the rhythm in the beating of your chest. ​(Chorus) Because you’re more than the dust, you’re the star-fire too There’s a version of the world that’s waiting on you. It’s not about the mountain or how high it seems It’s the courage in the climbing, the grit in the dreams. Brick by brick, you’re building something bright— You are the architect of your own light. ​(Verse 2) They’ll tell you that you’re late, or the door is shut But a "no" is just a rhythm, a flicker in the gut. Every scar is a map of a war you won A testament to standing when you wanted to run. The silence isn't empty, it’s a place to grow Seedlings need the winter just to put on a show. ​(Chorus) Because you’re more than the dust, you’re the star-fire too There’s a version of the world that’s waiting on you. It’s not about the mountain or how high it seems It’s the courage in the climbing, the grit in the dreams. Brick by brick, you’re building something bright— You are the architect of your own light. ​(Bridge) It doesn’t have to be a shout to be heard Sometimes the loudest thing is a single word: "Forward." Just one inch. Just one step. Until the shadow is a memory you kept. ​(Guitar Solo / Upbeat Instrumental) ​(Outro) The sun is coming up, can you feel the heat? The pavement’s turning gold underneath your feet. Yeah, you’re building it now. You’re the architect. Keep building. Keep shining.
