Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In a small town, or a city bright,
Walking the same streets, chasing the light.
Every story's different, yet we all share a dream,
No matter our roots, we're on the same team.
(Chorus)
It doesn't matter where you're from,
What matters is where you're going.
With every step, we're moving on,
Hearts wide open, love is growing.
So take my hand, we'll face the unknown,
Together we'll find our way back home.
(Verse 2)
Mountains and valleys, rivers that flow,
Each path we wander helps us to grow.
With every challenge, we rise and we learn,
The fire inside us forever will burn.
(Chorus)
It doesn't matter where you're from,
What matters is where you're going.
With every step, we're moving on,
Hearts wide open, love is growing.
So take my hand, we'll face the unknown,
Together we'll find our way back home.
(Bridge)
Every scar tells a story, every tear a song,
Through the highs and the lows, we've known all along.
With courage and hope, we'll reach for the stars,
No matter the distance, we'll heal all our scars.
(Chorus)
It doesn't matter where you're from,
What matters is where you're going.
With every step, we're moving on,
Hearts wide open, love is growing.
So take my hand, we'll face the unknown,
Together we'll find our way back home.
(Outro)
So here's to the journey, let's make it our own,
It doesn't matter where you're from,
What matters is where you're going.
