[Verse 1]
Bare feet on the morning floor
Suitcase by the open door
Sunlight in the hallway dust
Breathing in a fragile trust

Quiet kitchen
Ticking clock
Childhood drawings on the wall
She whispers names of places
She has never seen at all

[Chorus]
She steps through the dream gate
Heart in her hands
Crossing the line where the possible stands
Every shy promise she wrote in the dark
Now wakes up and burns like a bright little spark
She steps through the dream gate
One steady stride
Carrying years she kept hidden inside
The world that she painted in secret and stars
Opens its arms
Opens its arms

[Verse 2]
Train glass
Moving fields of green
Face reflected over scenes
Notebook with a folded map
Coffee stains and paper scraps

City hum
A stranger’s smile
Sudden rain
She laughs alone
This is not the story told
This is one she claims her own

[Chorus]
She steps through the dream gate
Heart in her hands
Crossing the line where the possible stands
Every shy promise she wrote in the dark
Now wakes up and burns like a bright little spark
She steps through the dream gate
One steady stride
Carrying years she kept hidden inside
The world that she painted in secret and stars
Opens its arms
Opens its arms

[Bridge]
Every “one day”
Every “maybe”
Falling from her shoulders
Light as petals in the air

She is learning
She is worthy
Of the sky she used to borrow
From a picture on her chair

[Chorus]
She steps through the dream gate
Heart in her hands
Crossing the line where the possible stands
Every shy promise she wrote in the dark
Now wakes up and burns like a bright little spark
She steps through the dream gate
One steady stride
Carrying years she kept hidden inside
The world that she painted in secret and stars
Opens its arms
Opens its arms
