[Intro — Piano, Cello, Violin, Trumpets] [Male — Soft] If I stay... [Female — Soft] Let it be my choice. [Both] The door stays open. [Verse 1 — Alternating Duet] [Male] My coat is waiting in the hall. [Female] My name is missing from the plans. [Male] I say I'm fine before you ask. [Female] I hide my no inside my hands. [Male] I learned to make myself useful. [Female] I learned to make myself small. [Male] Who am I when no one needs me? [Female] Who am I outside these walls? [Pre-Chorus — Strings Rise] [Male] I could go— [Female] I could stay— [Male] Would you love me— [Female] Either way? [Both] Let the answer be our own. [Chorus — Soaring Male/Female Harmony] [Both] FREEDOM! The door stays open. I can leave, I can stay. My life is mine either way. Let the daylight find me. Let me take up space. The door stays open. I don't have to earn my place. [Build — Rising Arpeggios] [Male] One step— [Female] My step— [Male] One life— [Female] My life— [Both] Let it be my choice! [Drop 1 — Melbourne Bounce, Piano, Strings] [Both — Vocal Chops] My choice! Free—freedom! [Instrumental — 8 Bars] [Beat Switch — Clean Sliding 808s] [EARLEDIVINE — DEEP MALE RAP ONLY] [Fast Aggressive Punchline Flow] Look! I was born with a vision, they handed me limits, Told me the sky was the ceiling, I broke through the image, They wanted control, I was building a business, They gave me a cage, I redesigned the dimensions! I ain't asking permission to follow my dreams, Had to swim through the pressure, got stronger upstream, They was writing my story, I rewrote the scene, Now I'm living the life that they said couldn't be! No chains on my thoughts, no fear in my stride, No need for approval to know I'm alive, I built from the bottom, put faith in the climb, If freedom's a door, I'm the one turning mine! [Male Rap — Double-Time] Big dreams, big moves, no ceiling! Hard days, still work, still healing! One life, one chance, I'm building! Can't put a price on this feeling! I don't owe them my future, my time or my soul, Every setback a lesson, each lesson is gold, They can question my journey, can't take my control, I was made to be free, not to fit in a mold! [Verse 2 — Female/Male Duet] [Female] I told my mother, "I need room." Her tea went cold between her hands. She said, "I never got to choose." Then asked me, "What are your plans?" [Male] I called my father after years. I let the silence have its place. We couldn't fix it in one night. I didn't have to close the gate. [Pre-Chorus 2 — Rising Strings] [Female] I can love— [Male] I can change— [Female] Take my own road— [Male] Keep my name— [Both] There's a life beyond this fear. [Chorus 2 — Full Duet] [Both] FREEDOM! The door stays open. I can leave, I can stay. My life is mine either way. Let the daylight find me. Let me take up space. The door stays open. I don't have to earn my place. [Drop 2 — Trumpets, Violin, Hard Techno] [Female Vocal Chops] My life! My choice! [Instrumental — 8 Bars] [EARLEDIVINE — DEEP MALE RAP ONLY] [Emotional Fast Punchline Flow] I had to learn love don't mean losing yourself, Can't pour out your heart till there's nothing else, Can't measure your worth by somebody's help, Sometimes finding freedom is choosing yourself! Had a thousand opinions all pulling my strings, Had to silence the noise just to hear what I think, I can love you completely and still need my wings, Real love opens doors, it don't lock anything! [Male Rap — Faster] New road, new chapter, I'm taking my chance, No fear of the future, no chains on my plans, My past taught lessons, my future demands That I stand on my own with my life in my hands! [Breakdown — Piano and Cello] [Male — Soft] The first night, I slept with the light on. [Female — Soft] The second, I opened the blinds. [Male] The fear didn't stop at the doorway. [Female] But this time, the footsteps were mine. [Bridge — Quiet Duet] [Female] If you choose a different road... [Male] I'll leave room for you to grow. [Female] I won't turn my hurt to chains. [Male] You don't owe me staying. [Both] Love can leave the door open. [Final Build — Piano, Strings, Supersaws] [Male] Your step— [Female] Your choice— [Male] Your life— [Female] Your voice— [Both] Speak your dream! Use your voice! Leave room for another choice! [Drums Cut] [Male] If you stay... [Female] Let it be your choice.
