Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
Now the curtain's drawing near, I feel it in the air
I've walked a hundred miles of roads that led me here
I won't pretend I always knew which way was right
But every step I took, I took it in my own light
[chorus]
I built it with my own two hands
Stood on my own two feet on shifting sand
No borrowed map, no stranger's key
I lived it loud, I lived it free
And whatever's written on this final page
I wrote it myself, upon this stage
[verse]
There were nights I lost it all and had to start again
There were friends who left and doors that closed on then
But I never learned to beg for someone else's name
I'd rather carry my own weight, my own quiet flame
[chorus]
I built it with my own two hands
Stood on my own two feet on shifting sand
No borrowed map, no stranger's key
I lived it loud, I lived it free
And whatever's written on this final page
I wrote it myself, upon this stage
[bridge]
So when the lights go down and the music finally stops
Don't weep for all the mountains or the ones I couldn't top
I climbed the ones I chose to climb, I fell the way I fell
And I'd walk it all again, and walk it just as well
[chorus]
I built it with my own two hands
Stood on my own two feet on shifting sand
No borrowed map, no stranger's key
I lived it loud, I lived it free
And whatever's written on this final page
I wrote it myself, upon this stage
