Lyrics
[Intro] Turn the corner, hear the whole block shake One pair of sneakers, one promise to make [Verse 1] She steps onto the painted pavement Chalk dust rising from her feet Neighbors lean from folding chairs As the speakers claim the street She learned her balance from hard days Kept her laughter through the strain Now every turn says, “i’m still here” Every landing breaks the chain [Pre-Chorus] Hands go up when she takes that space Joy written clear across her face No looking back, no second guess She turns the pressure into finesse [Chorus] Move like you’ve got tomorrow Spin through the weight and sorrow Whole block calling your name You turn the struggle into flame Move like the world can see you Move like your heart won’t leave you When the night comes crashing through We find our way by watching you [Verse 2] Kids copy every sharp foot pattern Older folks clap on the two She makes a stage from cracked-up asphalt Makes a sunrise out of blue A bus rolls past the corner store Its windows catch her silhouette She throws a smile toward the driver Like a debt the world can’t collect [Pre-Chorus] Hands go up when she takes that space Joy written clear across her face No looking back, no second guess She turns the pressure into finesse [Chorus] Move like you’ve got tomorrow Spin through the weight and sorrow Whole block calling your name You turn the struggle into flame Move like the world can see you Move like your heart won’t leave you When the night comes crashing through We find our way by watching you [Bridge] Let the old walls hold the stories Let the fresh paint mark the change Every heartbeat joins the rhythm Every witness leaves rearranged [Final chorus] Move like you’ve got tomorrow Spin through the weight and sorrow Whole block calling your name You turn the struggle into flame Move like the world can see you Move like your heart won’t leave you When the night comes crashing through We find our way by watching you [Outro] One more turn beneath the open sky The block keeps dancing as the hours fly
