Next Mile

Verse 1
I've been staring at the same road,
Trying to find a different view.
Every answer leads to questions,
Every plan falls halfway through.

I've been carrying this weight around,
Like I don't know where it belongs.
Trying to fix what's right in front of me,
While wondering where I went wrong.

Pre-Chorus
Maybe I don't need the whole horizon.
Maybe I don't need to see that far.

Chorus
Just show me the next mile.
Just show me the next turn.
I don't need all the answers,
I just need something I can learn.

One step becomes another,
And another after that.
The road starts making sense
When I stop trying to see it all at once.

Verse 2
The pressure's still there in the morning,
The work is still waiting for me.
But somehow it feels a little lighter
When I focus on what I can see.

I've spent too much time looking backward,
Or worrying what might be ahead.
But the ground beneath my feet is solid,
And that's enough for now instead.

Pre-Chorus
Maybe I don't need perfect timing.
Maybe I don't need perfect plans.

Chorus
Just show me the next mile.
Just show me the next turn.
I don't need all the answers,
I just need something I can learn.

One step becomes another,
And another after that.
The road starts making sense
When I stop trying to see it all at once.

Bridge
The mountain doesn't move in a moment.
The sunrise doesn't happen all at once.
The strongest things are built little by little,
One decision, one day, one month.

So I'll keep moving while I'm learning.
I'll keep learning while I move.
And if I can't see the finish line,
I'll trust the next thing I know to do.

Final Chorus
Just show me the next mile.
Just show me the next turn.
I don't need all the answers,
I just need something I can learn.

One step becomes another,
And another after that.
The road starts making sense
When I stop trying to see it all at once.

Outro
The road is still in front of me.
That's okay.
I know enough
To take the next step today.
