Lyrics
[Verse 1] [Rock][Electric Guitar]
Hundred years of family recipes, passed down through the line
Secrets in the spices, stories in the wine
But the taste of tradition can feel bittersweet sometimes
When you're just trying to break free, and fly on your own wings, define
[Chorus][Rock]
Your own path, your own way, break the mold, don't be afraid
To leave the shadows, step into the light, rewrite your own parade
They may not understand, their minds are set in stone
But the fire in your heart burns brighter, when you're flying on your own
[Verse 2] [Rock][Distorted Guitar]
Grandparents with loving eyes, couldn't see the world I saw
Their kindness held me tight, but their expectations, held me raw
They thought they knew what was best, but their love was blind to me
The weight of their desire, felt like a heavy decree
[Chorus][Rock]
To follow in their footsteps, to walk the path they paved
But the road less travelled calls to me, a destiny I crave
They may not understand, their minds are set in stone
But the fire in my heart burns brighter, when I'm flying on my own
[Bridge][Rock][Acoustic Guitar]
So I walk away, from the whispers and the stares
From the judgment and the pressure, from the expectations and the cares
I close my eyes and breathe deep, and I find my own way
With a burning passion in my soul, I'll chase the light of day
[Chorus][Rock][Electric Guitar]
My own path, my own way, break the mold, don't be afraid
To leave the shadows, step into the light, rewrite my own parade
They may not understand, their minds are set in stone
But the fire in my heart burns brighter, when I'm flying on my own
[Outro][Rock][Distorted Guitar]
She gave me a dirty look, a silent, judging stare
But the truth is in my eyes, and I'll never be the same
I'm breaking free, I'm soaring high, I'm writing my own song
And she can't stop me, she can't hold me, I'm moving on, moving strong
