The Gate

Verse 1

I walked through fire, I walked through rain

Carried the scars, carried the pain

Every wrong road brought me here

Now the gate is finally near

Pre-Chorus

I didn't come this far to turn away

I've paid the price for this day

Chorus

I'm standing at the gate, I finally arrived

After every fall, somehow I survived

Never test my courage, never test my faith

I fought too damn hard to reach this place

Post-Chorus

Open the gate, I've earned my way

Nothing's gonna stop me today

Verse 2

They said I'd break before the end

That I would fall and never stand again

But every doubt became my strength

And carried me the final length

Pre-Chorus

I see the other side ahead

I'm still alive after all I've bled

Chorus

I'm standing at the gate, I finally arrived

With every broken dream still burning inside

Never test my courage, never test my faith

Nothing you can do will turn me away

Post-Chorus

Open the gate, the waiting is done

I've made it through—I've finally won

Bridge

Every mile, every scar

Every night beneath the stars

Led me straight to where I stand

Now the future's in my hands

Verse 3

The gate swings wide, I cross the line

Leaving every ghost behind

No looking back, no yesterday

I finally found my way

Pre-Chorus

This is the moment I fought to see

Nothing stands between it and me

Chorus

I walked through the gate, I finally arrived

I kept my soul and I kept hope alive

Never test my courage, never test my faith

I came too damn far to be afraid

Post-Chorus

The gate is behind me, the road is ahead

I made it here just like I said

Outro

The gate is open, the night is gone

I carry the fire and keep moving on

Never test my courage, never test my faith

I found my way, and I know my place
