[Intro - warm bouncy Rhodes loop F-Am-Bb-Dm, brushed snare groove with light drum-machine pulse, soft walking bass, subtle hazy analog pad wash, no fills until snare roll into verse]

[Verse 1 - dry close-mic male falsetto, conversational thinking-out-loud delivery, syllables snap on beat, intentional voice crack on phrase peaks, short melodic ad-lib fragments finish hanging lines, plain then sudden ornamental shift]
Hard to say it plain (hard to say it)
I keep rehearsing — rehearsing in the rain
Called it grace, I called it fate (called it fate, yeah)
Closest word I got — it wears your face
Steps keep ordering themselves — to you
(ordering, ordering)
Don't know the plan but I'm still moving through

[Pre-Chorus - stacked falsetto layers with slight pitch spread and warm divergence, vocal urgency builds, snare roll, breathy tenor]
No valley kept me — no (kept me down)
Something kept me — something kept me found
(snare roll)

[Chorus - bouncy snappy Rhodes, punchy snare hits blended with light drum machine, three-take stacked male falsetto with deliberate pitch spread and warm divergence between layers, infectious short hook repeats, ad libs melodically finish every hanging phrase, intentional crack on peaks]
Still walking — still walking (still walking, oh)
Covered daily — yeah
Still walking — still walking (can't stop now)
In a plan I didn't write
No weapon — no (nothing touched this)
Every valley — oh (crossed it anyway)
The only damn thing
In my understanding
Still walking — still walking — yeah

[Verse 2 - pitched-up ornamental falsetto, sudden melismatic run on single unexpected word, plain conversational delivery then spontaneous ornament, intentional voice crack on held notes, ad-lib fragments complete thoughts]
Shine through every low (every single one)
Face I see wherever — wherever I go
Called it God — called it luck (called it you)
Truth is I ain't — I ain't given up
You ordered something — something in my bones
(in my bones, yeah)
Stepped me somewhere I can't walk alone

[Pre-Chorus - fuller stacked layers with widening pitch spread, bouncy rhythmic push, snare roll, breathy urgency]
No valley kept me — no (kept me down)
Something kept me — something kept me found
(snare roll)

[Chorus - bouncy snappy Rhodes, three-take stacked falsetto pitch spread and warm divergence, infectious repeat, ad libs melodically comment throughout, intentional cracks]
Still walking — still walking (still walking, oh)
Covered daily — yeah
Still walking — still walking (can't stop now)
In a plan I didn't write
No weapon — no (nothing touched this)
Every valley — oh (crossed it anyway)
The only damn thing
In my understanding
Still walking — still walking — yeah

[Outro - Rhodes vamp bounces, snare rolls scatter loosely, falsetto mantra repeated three times with different delivery each pass (dry → run → cracked), ad libs dissolve into hazy loop, soft psych-soul fade]
The word is you — (yeah, the word)
The plan is you — oh (the plan, the plan)
Still walking in — walking in you
(still walking, still walking)
Covered — covered me daily
(still, still, still)
