Woke up with a weight
I couldn't ignore
North Yorkshire's
Winds beating at my door
A map on the table
A bag in my hand
Time to walk away
Time to make a stand
The man in the mirror
He's lost his fight
A ghost of myself
In the cold morning light
But the road's calling
Can't stay the same
Gonna chase the fire
Gonna reignite the flame
Through the motorways
The hills, and rain
I'll fight the shadows
I'll break the chain
From Dover's cliffs
To Ben Nevis skies
I'll find my truth
Where the silence lies
Across this land
Through wind and stone
I'll find the man I used to own
Stopped in a pub down
In Birmingham town
Shared a pint with a man
Who'd been knocked down
He said, \"Life's not
About what you've lost
It's about the scars
And the lines they've crossed\"
In Liverpool, the Mersey roared
The songs of struggle
The hope restored
Each chord a call
Each lyric a guide
Reminding me of the fire inside
Through the motorways
The hills, and rain
I'll fight the shadows
I'll break the chain
From Dover's cliffs
To Ben Nevis skies
I'll find my truth
Where the silence lies
Across this land
Through wind and stone
I'll find the man I used to own
(Bridge 1)
In the valleys of Wales
I stood in the rain
The mountains whispered
\"Boy, feel the pain\"
But with every drop
My burden eased
Strength in the struggle
My heart appeased
By the time I hit
The rugged Highlands
I felt my roots
I felt my stance
A man reborn, scarred but true
Learning to walk
To fight anew
(Breakdown)
And I screamed at the sky
On Brighton's shore
\"Who the hell am I?
What's this all for?\"
The waves didn't answer
But they pulled me in
Washing me clean
Starting again
(Chorus 2)
Through the motorways
The hills, and rain
I've faced my demons
I've felt the strain
From Dover's cliffs
To Ben Nevis skies
I found my truth
In the silence and cries
Across this land
Through wind and stone
I found the man
I now call my own
(Bridge 2)
Every step a battle
Every mile a fight
But the UK skies gave
Me their light
Through city streets
And the countryside
I found my strength
I found my pride
Now I'm a man
With a story to tell
Of how I rose
From the depths I fell
No longer broken
No longer a shell
I'm the man who fought
Through his own hell
From Yorkshire's winds
To Scotland's snow
I've found my path
I've found my flow
I'll keep moving forward
I'll take a stand
Because I know now who I am
