(A soft and introspective opening with fingerpicked guitar and ambient tones, creating a reflective and slow-wake-up feeling.)

Start the day, but take it slow

Memories fall like leaves below

Mind too heavy, weight too high

Realign, keep moving by

Trace the plans I thought I knew

Filter out what still feels true

Chase the words, rewrite the past

If it’s built to last, I’ll make it last

Mapping steps, I draw the line

Echoes fade, I leave behind

The road keeps rolling, so do I

And I’m still alive

Ohhh, I keep moving forward, moving forward…

Skies up north, the city fades

Cold wind bites, but I’m awake

Fires burn, the laughter stays

Time won’t wait, but that’s okay

If I slow down, would it be enough?

If I let go, would I lose too much?

Every mile’s a lesson learned

And every road still takes its turn

Mapping steps, I draw the line

Letting go, but keeping time

The echoes fade, they don’t rewind

The road keeps rolling, and I’m alive

Ohhh, I keep moving forward, moving forward…

Maybe I’ll look back, maybe I won’t

Either way, the road still goes
