New Path Tonight

Lyrics

Verse 1
I learned how to stand up straight
After years of swallowing shame
Carried that pain in my ribs
Like a chain with my name
I was buried in the past
Had to dig with bare hands
Now I look in that mirror
And I finally understand

Pre-Chorus
I stay teachable
Even when I’m tired
I keep my heart open
I keep that fire
One step, one choice
One clean move tonight
I’m not who I was
I’m still getting right

Chorus
New path tonight
New path tonight
I choose life
I choose life
Recovery’s daily
Recovery’s daily
One right choice
One right choice

Verse 2
I’ve made accomplishments
That nobody can steal
Small wins turned heavy
Now they both feel real
From the wreckage to the witness
From the loss to the lesson
I turned my scars into proof
Not a permanent prison
I don’t bow to the old voice
I don’t answer that call
What used to run my whole world
Doesn’t run me at all

Pre-Chorus
I stay teachable
Even when I’m tired
I keep my heart open
I keep that fire
One step, one choice
One clean move tonight
I’m not who I was
I’m still getting right

Chorus
New path tonight
New path tonight
I choose life
I choose life
Recovery’s daily
Recovery’s daily
One right choice
One right choice

Bridge
If I fall, I get back up
If I bend, I don’t break
Every dawn is another chance
Every move is a stake
I’m reminding myself
What’s in me is bigger
Than the fear, than the guilt
Than the old triggers

Final Chorus
New path tonight
New path tonight
I choose life
I choose life
Recovery’s daily
Recovery’s daily
One right choice
One right choice
