upward plans begin being made<\/p>\n<p>[Pre-Chorus \u2013 lift building]<br \/>\n[Add rising synth sweep and light percussion roll]<br \/>\nIf the ground is where we start<br \/>\nThen the climb becomes the art<br \/>\nEvery second, every stride<br \/>\nPulls the weight we hold inside<\/p>\n<p>[Chorus \u2013 bright, uplifting, full arrangement]<br \/>\n[Full drums, wide synths, layered

clarity<\/p>\n<p>[Pre-Chorus \u2013 stronger lift build]<br \/>\n[Add snare rolls and harmonic expansion]<br \/>\nEvery floor we leave behind<br \/>\nLeaves a version redefined<br \/>\nWhat we carry,

time<\/p>\n<p>[Gradual build with swelling synths]<br \/>\nMaybe up is just a choice<br \/>\nMade in silence, made in voice<\/p>\n<p>[Final Chorus \u2013 maximum lift and energy]<br \/>\n[Full

noise and through the doubt)<br \/>\nUp, up, up<br \/>\n(Till we figure it all out)<\/p>\n<p>Nothing holding us below<br \/>\nOnly places left to go<br \/>\nEvery moment rising free<br \/>\nInto what
