[Verse 1]
Bare feet on the marble
Dust dancing in the dawn
She’s carrying a paper heart
All folded
Worn
And drawn

Gold doors breathing open
Her breath a trembling line
Every shadow feels like
A border she must cross in time

[Chorus]
She steps into the world she dreamt of
Light on her lashes
Hands unsteady
Every little fear like thunder above
But her pulse says softly
"I am ready"
One small foot
Then another
Across the hush between
She steps into the world she dreamt of
And the world steps into her dream

[Verse 2]
She traces painted ceilings
Stories swirling overhead
Names she’s never spoken
Bloom quiet in her chest instead

A staircase like a river
Of faces passing by
She lifts her chin
Unsure
Yet something steady in her eyes

[Chorus]
She steps into the world she dreamt of
Light on her lashes
Hands unsteady
Every little fear like thunder above
But her pulse says softly
"I am ready"
One small foot
Then another
Across the hush between
She steps into the world she dreamt of
And the world steps into her dream

[Bridge]
What if every wrong turn
Leads her closer in?
What if every cracked note
Teaches her to sing?

She smooths her cotton dress
Lets the silence ring
Then walks as if the future
Already knows her name

[Chorus]
She steps into the world she dreamt of
Light on her lashes
Hands unsteady
Every little fear like thunder above
But her pulse says softly
"I am ready"
One small foot
Then another
Across the hush between
She steps into the world she dreamt of
And the world steps into her dream
