Rise on the Chart
Chorus
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more
What’d you say?
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more
Verse 1
Saddle up your dreams, let the sunrise guide your way
Leave behind the fences that kept you in yesterday
Every hoofbeat’s freedom, every mile’s a chance to grow
On the trail to empowerment, it’s your spirit you must show
Chorus
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more
Verse 2
Out here on the open range, you learn what you’re made of
With every mountain climbed, you find the strength you’re dreaming of
Nature’s your companion, and the wild wind sings along
You’re choosing your direction, you’re writing your own song
Bridge
We ride with intention, hearts open wide
Learning from the land, with the stars as our guide
Self-reliant, conscious, bold and free
Empowered by the journey, becoming who we’re meant to be
Chorus
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more
What’d you say?
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the trail, cowboy, and don’t you ride back no more
Outro
Don’t you ride back no more
Uh, what’d you say?
Don’t you ride back no more
I’m finding my way
Don’t you ride back no more
With each step I grow
Don’t you ride back no more
On the trail I go
Don’t you ride back no more
Verse 1
You lived your life like a terrified kid,
Too scared to be a woman in a man’s world,
Too scared to live and too scared to die,
Those tales you told yourself, till the lie became the truth.
Chorus
Dear former self, it’s time that you were gone,
It’s time I’m moving on,
Stop holding space inside my head,
You’re not welcome here no more.
Verse 2
I cast you out, I closed the door,
I found my wings to fly, you can’t hold me down,
But someone’s throwing stones at the window of my mind,
I look out and it’s you, it’s you, begging to be let in.
Chorus
Dear former self, it’s time that you were gone,
It’s time I’m moving on,
Stop holding space inside my head,
You’re not welcome here no more.
Verse 3
This new life I’m living, there’s no room for you in it,
So pack your bags, this time I mean it,
I’m breaking free, I’m rising strong,
Lead like a lead mare, love like I’ll never lose.
Chorus
Dear former self, it’s time that you were gone,
It’s time I’m moving on,
Stop holding space inside my head,
You’re not welcome here no more.
Bridge
You thought you could beat me, you thought you could overcome me,
Bring me to my knees, bow my head, make me weak,
Don’t you tell a beautiful lie?
But never again, you can’t control me.
Chorus
Dear former self, it’s time that you were gone,
It’s time I’m moving on,
Stop holding space inside my head,
You’re not welcome here no more.
Verse 1
In the ordinary world, I lived my days,
Dreams tucked away, lost in a haze.
Then came a whisper, a call to go,
Adventure beckoned, but fear said no.
Pre-Chorus
A mentor’s wisdom, a guiding hand,
Pushed me forward to unknown lands.
I crossed the threshold, left home behind,
With hope and doubt entwined.
Chorus
On the road of trials, I stumble and rise,
With allies and enemies, truth in disguise.
Through darkness and danger, I find my way,
Each test transforms me, day by day.
Verse 2
Tempted to falter, to turn around,
But courage and purpose are what I’ve found.
In the heart of the storm, I face my fear,
The ordeal breaks me, then makes it clear.
Bridge
I seize the reward, the lesson learned,
The world behind me, the hero returned.
But the journey’s not over, the road winds back,
A final test before the world fades to black.
Chorus
On the road of trials, I stumble and rise,
With allies and enemies, truth in disguise.
Through darkness and danger, I find my way,
Each test transforms me, day by day.
Outro
Back to the world, changed and strong,
With wisdom to share, I carry on.
The hero’s journey never ends,
For every ending, a new one begins
Verse 1
In a world of broken vows, where love was just a trade,
I gave my heart away, but it was never saved.
Dependency my cage, fulfillment out of sight,
Stuck in roles we never chose, losing day and night.
“Security for care”, that’s all we knew back then,
Two halves pretending to be whole, again and yet again…
Chorus
Then came the voice: “There’s more than this despair!
A love that heals the wounds, a bond beyond compare.
To be whole before you join, to stand first on your own,
That’s where true connection starts, where seeds of trust are sown!”
Verse 2
I faced the baggage, shadowed fears I couldn’t hide,
Dug deep to find my purpose, pushed the old ways aside.
With Jung as lantern light and Maslow as my guide,
I built my independence, no more running, nowhere to hide.
Met a soul who’d walked the path,
Shared the dreams I’d come to craft…
Bridge
We shared our principles and standards, laid histories bare:
Health, values, consciousness, no detail left unshared.
Then came the test: “Can we create what’s greater than just ‘us’?”
Aligning visions, building trust, releasing fear and fuss.
Letting go of old desires,
Setting boundaries, lighting fires…
Verse 3
Now roles aren’t gendered, they’re by skill and heart designed,
Each need met through self-love, no more chains that bind.
When cycles sync and spirits speak, creation starts to bloom:
A child, a forest, or a book, no longer in the gloom!
We pour our essence into life,
Transcending transactional strife…
Outro
Cast off the scripts that kept you confined,
Let conscious choice and courage lead you through the dark
Where two become creatorsby choice, not by fate
And love, once uncertain, becomes the art you make.
Through trials and truth, you’ll find what endures:
A union built on wholeness,
And a legacy that’s yours.
Verse 1
Down in the shadows, where shame and fear reside,
Life feels like a struggle, nowhere left to hide.
Anger and pride, they pull me down,
Victim of my story, lost and bound.
But a spark inside whispers, “There’s more to see,
A world of hope, a chance to be free.”
Chorus
I’m reaching up to a higher part
From darkness to light, let love fill my heart.
Leave behind blame, step into my power,
Grow with each moment, bloom like a flower.
High consciousness calls me, I’m ready to start,
To live with purpose, and open my heart.
Verse 2
Courage is the turning point, the first step I take,
Neutral and willing, new choices I make.
Acceptance and reason, I see the bigger view,
I’m not just surviving, I’m creating something new.
Self-empowered now, I shape my fate,
Believing in goodness, letting go of hate.
Bridge
And when I reach higher, where joy and peace flow,
Love for all beings is all I need to know.
Your joy is my joy, we rise as one,
In unity and kindness, our best work is done.
Chorus
I’m reaching up to a higher part
From darkness to light, let love fill my heart.
Leave behind blame, step into my power,
Grow with each moment, bloom like a flower.
High consciousness calls me, I’m ready to start,
To live with purpose, and open my heart.
Outro
So I’ll keep climbing, step by step,
Learning from the lows, never forget,
The higher I go, the freer I’ll be,
Living with purpose, in peace and unity.
Verse 1
Comfort and coping, lost in denial,
Replaying the same scenes, mile after mile.
Over and over, it’s all that you know,
And they all say, “That’s just how you go.”
Chorus
Headlights, dark nights, out on the highway,
Where are they headed, and where have they been?
Are they afraid of the road running out,
Or chasing horizons, again and again?
Verse 2
How do you break free from old refrains,
When you’re lost in a rhythm, stuck in the chains?
Dancing off-beat to a song no one hears,
Who will you be when you conquer your fears?
Chorus
Headlights, dark nights, out on the highway,
Where are they headed, and where have they been?
Are they afraid of the road running out,
Or chasing horizons, again and again?
Bridge
Breaking a habit, twenty-one days, they say,
But is it that easy to think a new way?
When you stand in the rain and refuse to hide,
Are you ready to meet yourself on the other side?
Chorus
Headlights, dark nights, out on the highway,
Where are they headed, and where have they been?
Are they afraid of the road running out,
Or chasing horizons, again and again?
Outro
Welcome to the other side,
Where ghosts from the past no longer confide.
No need to run, you can’t outrun yourself,
You’ve found your true self, just as it’s meant to be.
Verse 1
Your conscious mind, always questioning why
Initiative lifts you, chasing the sky
Owning outcomes, taking the lead
Your attitude shines, planting every seed
Chorus
I appreciate you, for all that you are
Your spirit and soul, shining near and far
Character, standards, ethics so true
Principles guiding everything you do
Verse 2
Your energy burns, a wildfire within
Spirit beside you, through thick and thin
Psyche connects, in ways yet unseen
Your soul’s deep wisdom, on which we all lean
Chorus
I appreciate you, for all that you are
Your spirit and soul, shining near and far
Character, standards, ethics so true
Principles guiding everything you do
Bridge
On this journey of growth, we walk side by side
Equals in spirit, with nothing to hide
Holding each other, accountable and strong
Together we’ll face what may come along
Chorus
I appreciate you, for all that you are
Your spirit and soul, shining near and far
Character, standards, ethics so true
Principles guiding everything you do
Outro
In success and challenge, we’ll grow and evolve
Becoming our best selves, as life we solve
With gratitude shared, our spirits renew
Always and ever, I appreciate you
Verse 1
I’m standing tall, my spirit unbound,
Clarity strikes like a heartbeat’s sound.
Ideas take flight, my purpose is clear,
This is my season, no room for fear.
Chorus
I’m at my peak, my female power glows,
Strength in my voice, and courage that grows.
I lead, I rise, I trust my own flow,
This is my fire-watch me glow, glow, glow!
Verse 2
Connections spark, my light draws them near,
Collaboration, no challenge too severe.
I speak my truth, I own every word,
The world hears the message my heart has heard.
Chorus
I’m at my peak, my female power glows,
Strength in my voice, and courage that grows.
I lead, I rise, I trust my own flow,
This is my fire-watch me glow, glow, glow!
Bridge
Every step forward, every bold choice,
I honor my body, I amplify my voice.
Generations of wisdom roar through my veins,
Female power’s legacy-it’s mine to reclaim.
Chorus
I’m at my peak, my female power glows,
Strength in my voice, and courage that grows.
I lead, I rise, I trust my own flow,
This is my fire-watch me glow, glow, glow!
Outro
This radiant phase, I’m fully alive,
In my female power, I thrive and thrive.
Verse 1
Under open skies where the wildflowers grow,
We walk the winding trails, letting our true selves show.
No walls to contain us, no roles to confine,
Just the whisper of the pines
and the freedom to find,
A lesson in each sunrise, a truth in every stone,
Learning by doing, we make this place our own.
Chorus
This is freedom to learn,
Where the wild winds turn,
We find our purpose in the work and the play.
With our hands in the earth,
We discover our worth,
And the lessons of the land guide us each day.
Verse 2
Six principles to follow, six paths to explore:
Nature connection, conservation, and so much more.
Personal growth and self-sufficiency,
Empowerment, awareness, our philosophy.
We come together, turning experiences into knowledge
Every task, every moment, more than it seems.
Chorus
This is freedom to learn,
Where the wild winds turn,
We find our purpose in the work and the play.
With our hands in the earth,
We discover our worth,
And the lessons of the land guide us each day.
Bridge
Mistakes are our teachers, the wilderness our guide,
Responsibility and courage growing deep inside.
From saddles to saws, from kitchens to streams,
We build our tomorrow from today’s wild dreams.
Verse 3
No mindless distractions, no empty routine,
Here, every moment is alive and serene.
We learn from the land, from the creatures we meet,
From the cold if the woodpile isn’t complete.
We’re mentors and students, we’re seekers and friends,
The journey of learning here never ends.
Chorus
This is freedom to learn,
Where the wild winds turn,
We find our purpose in the work and the play.
With our hands in the earth,
We discover our worth,
And the lessons of the land guide us each day.
Outro
So come to the wilderness, let your spirit roam,
Find your higher calling, make this place your home.
With the freedom to learn,
With the freedom to grow.
Verse 1
Woke up with the sunrise, breathin’ mountain air
Coffee on the fire, got no worries, got no care
First things first, gotta find my feet
Shelter, food, and water, make that morning sweet
Pre-Chorus
But out here in the wild, every day’s a brand new chance
To climb a little higher, take a bigger stance
Chorus
We’re growing and evolving, step by step, we rise
From the basics to the beauty, reaching for the sky
At the ranch, we feel it all, from the ground up to the stars
Together we keep climbing, discovering who we are
Verse 2
Safety’s in the planning, keep the bears at bay
Learning how to navigate, and make it through the day
Find my place around the fire, laughter in the night
Belonging in the circle, everything feels right
Bridge
Confidence is growing, every challenge faced
Fixing trucks and shoeing horses, I’m finding my own pace
Curiosity’s blooming, learning nature’s ways
Awe at every sunrise, lost in beauty’s gaze
Chorus
We’re growing and evolving, step by step, we rise
From the basics to the beauty, reaching for the sky
At the ranch, we feel it all, from the ground up to the stars
Together we keep climbing, discovering who we are
Verse 3
Finding my purpose, riding mountain high
Guiding through the valleys, with meaning in our eyes
Breaking every boundary, giving all we’ve got
Building something bigger, leaving our own mark
Chorus
We’re growing and evolving, step by step, we rise
From the basics to the beauty, reaching for the sky
At the ranch, we feel it all, from the ground up to the stars
Together we keep climbing, discovering who we are
Outro
So when the night is falling, and the fire’s burning low
We’ve climbed a little higher, with every day we grow
At the ranch, we’re living, this story in our hands
From the roots into the sky, together we will stand
Verse 1
I set out with a vision, a fire burning bright,
Dreamed of changing the world, of making wrong things right.
With a heart full of courage, I climbed every hill,
Believed that I could fix it all, if I just had the will.
Verse 2
But the world was wide and wild, and the mountains stood so tall,
Every step I took, I felt so small.
Tried to move the rivers, tried to shift the sky,
But the world kept turning, and I wondered why.
Pre-Chorus
I looked to my country, my province, my town,
Hoping to turn it all around.
But each circle drew me closer,
To the place where change is found.
Chorus
So I turned my gaze inward,
To the roots beneath my feet,
Found the power in my choices,
And the strength in my heartbeat.
From self to kin, to village,
Let the ripples start to spin,
Changing me, I change my world,
That’s how true change begins.
Verse 3
With every trail I travel, with every lesson learned,
I build a better self, and watch the fire burn.
Empowered by the wild, by the wisdom of the land,
I share what I discover, lend a helping hand.
Bridge
The journey circles inward, the story’s old and true,
If you want to change the world, let the change begin with you.
From my heart to my family, from my family to my street,
From my street into the village, and the world beneath my feet.
Chorus
Now we walk these trails together,
Empowered, strong, and free,
Growing with each sunrise,
Becoming who we’re meant to be.
From the heart of this community,
To the mountains and the sea,
Changing me, I change my world,
That’s the legacy.
Outro
So if you want to change the world,
Just start with what you see—
The person in the mirror,
That’s where change will be.
