Em7
...and start up again
      Dsus2                                    Cadd9
Um, I think it'll be an experience for you that you'll never forget
D
 Probably will be life-changing
                             Em7
I think it's going to be very hard on your body
                        Dsus2                            Cadd9
I think you're gonna be, um, shocked at how difficult it is
                      D
But I applaud you for trying it, I'm really excited for yo
Em7                  Dsus2
 And like Aunt Becky says, "Nobody gets hurt"
  Cadd9                        D
So just be safe, and I love you


[Verse 1]
Em7
 It's hard to explain what I got the vision for
Dsus2
 It's almost like I'm tryna sing a hidden note
Cadd9
 And I can't even get it out, though it's it my throat
D
I get so frustrated, I feel like a misanthrope
Em7
 I start feeling like my whole life isn't dope
Dsus2
 And I've ruined everything with what I didn't know
Cadd9
 Then some shit my father told me starts hitting home
D
 What the fuck am I even here livin' for?
Em7                                            Dsus2
I miss my friends, we don't talk as much as we used to
                                     Cadd9
I'm too busy checking on YouTube and scrolling on IG
                       D
I tend to get glued to various distractions as my life floats by
Em7
 Have I just been checked out the whole time?
Dsus2
 I spend 85% of it online
Cadd9                                           D
 And for the things that really matter I got no time (No time)
         Em7
But wait, if I can get myself out of this broke mood
Dsus2
 Then maybe all my listeners could have hope too
Cadd9
Yeah, that's what I'm gon' do
D
I become who I am from all the shit I go through


[Chorus]
Em7  Dsus2            Cadd9  D
          Keep walkin'
                    Em7              Dsus2         Cadd9       D
If I could write my name across the sky for all to see, then I would
                   Em7           Dsus2         Cadd9       D
If I could bring myself to understand what you are, then I would
      Em7                    Dsus2
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
      Cadd9                  D
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
      Em7                    Dsus2
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
      Cadd9                  D
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would, and I would


[Verse 2]
      Em7
I'm a butterfly flyin' through a broken sky
    Dsus2
God servin' me truth, and I'm open wide
         Cadd9
It takes courage to be still and go inside
         D
I'm on a tip of liberation, watch me toe the line
    Em7
When yoga pose hits a yoga pose
  Dsus2
A part of me that I really hate showin' shows
Cadd9
 You get a taste from my post of quotes
       D
But my inner growth is something no one knows
      Em7
And I hope it shows
      Dsus2                    Cadd9
In my eyes, in my music, in my vibe, in my kindness
           D
And in my stride, in the grand art piece that is my life
Em7
 And again, this is just a brush stroke
Dsus2
 You've been running long enough, child, come home
Cadd9
 Break it down, universe means one song
D
 You wanna taste life, swim into the unknown
Em7
 I know that I did my best
D
 I'm not designed to eat, sleep, sit, and text
Cadd9
 My thirty-first year is a vision quest
D
 I know the answer that I'm lookin' for isn't sex
Em7
 And it isn't money, isn't fame
D
 It's something much deeper than I can explain
Cadd9
 And this verse is just a finger pointin' toward the trail
D
 Soon you gonna have to walk it for yourself


[Chorus]
Em7  Dsus2            Cadd9  D
          Keep walkin'
                    Em7              Dsus2         Cadd9       D
If I could write my name across the sky for all to see, then I would
                   Em7           Dsus2         Cadd9       D
If I could bring myself to understand what you are, then I would
      Em7                    Dsus2
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
      Cadd9                  D
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
      Em7                    Dsus2
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
      Cadd9                  D
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would, and I would


[Outro]
Em7                  Dsus2                                       Cadd9
 If you could give a wish to future Mike when he sets off on his walk in a few months, what would that be?
D
 I wish you remember this is what you wanted
Em7                        Dsus2
 This is, this is what you wanted
                                            Cadd9                       D
I understand intellectually there are gonna be terrible moments on this journey
                      Em7                  Dsus2
Where I wanna give up, where my body hurts, where I'm thinking
 Cadd9              D
"Why the heck did I choose to do this? This was so stupid"
Em7                          Dsus2
 And the reason you chose to do it
       Cadd9
Was to feel what you're feeling right now
      D            Em7  Dsus2  Cadd9  Dsus2  Em7
And decide to keep going
