If you're wondering where I'm at
I'm putting in my hours
Got more thorns than I do flowers
Hard work got dirt all on my hands
And when I fall right down, yeah
I do it again
Some might get there overnight
But I don't run to the spotlight
Take my sweet time down that road
I know I'll get there but I got a ways to go
Cause I can't fly without a runway
Run a mile without the sweat
Yeah I'm gonna make it someday
But I can't leap without a step
I know that I'm right on track
If I'm being honest
Well, if I'm gonna shine I gotta polish
When the doubt creeps in I tell myself
Girl keep going and you will
Climb that mountain rock by rock
Because I'm on my grind and I ain't gonna stop
Until I reach the top
But I can't fly without a runway
Run a mile without the sweat
Yeah I'm gonna make it someday
But I can't leap without a step
I know that I'm right on track
If I'm being honest
Well, if I'm gonna shine I gotta polish
Watch me
On my way up
I'll be shining
When the day's done
Like a star glows in the night
When the time is right
But I can't fly without a runway
Run a mile without the sweat
Yeah I'm gonna make it someday
But I can't leap without a step
I know that I'm right on track
If I'm being honest
Well, if I'm gonna shine I gotta polish
