[Intro ]
Before the branch can greet the wind
The living seed must stir within
Before the road appears in sight
The mind must first receive the light
(From within)
The change begins within
[Verse 1 ]
Before these hands can shape the stone
The mind must picture what is unknown
A quiet thought becomes a choice
Then finds its feet and finds its voice
The world may lean against your frame
And try to tell you who to blame
But when your purpose holds its ground
No outside weight can keep you down
[Pre-Chorus ]
[Male]
Mind the garden where you sow
[Female]
Plant with care and let it grow
[Male]
What you water, what you feed
[Female]
Soon becomes your word and deed
[Chorus ]
[Male]
Mind over matter, hold your ground
[Female]
Hold your ground, do not back down
[Male]
The strength within will lead you out
[Female]
Let your inner truth speak loud
[Male]
Everything we build begins
[Female]
In the unseen world within
[Male]
Thoughts make the climate where we live
[Female]
They shape the love and fear we give
[Male]
Change the root beneath the tree
[Female]
Different fruit will come to be
[Together]
From within
The power comes from within
From within
That is where the change begins
[Verse 2 ]
I grew where voices filled the room
With borrowed fear and certain doom
They drew the borders of my sight
And taught my heart to doubt its light
But every morning gave me space
To choose the thoughts that shaped my face
I cleared the words that kept me small
And learned I was not bound at all
The walls around me left their stain
But could not govern every vein
I changed the language in my head
And fed new roots with truth instead
Now when the old ideas return
I let them pass, I let them burn
The past may knock upon my door
But it does not live here anymore
[Pre-Chorus ]
[Female]
Mind the garden where you sow
[Male]
Every hidden seed will grow
[Female]
What you practise, what you claim
[Male]
Slowly starts to shape your name
[Chorus ]
[Female]
Mind over matter, hold your ground
[Male]
Hold your ground, do not back down
[Female]
The strength within will lead you out
[Male]
Let your inner truth speak loud
[Female]
Everything we build begins
[Male]
In the unseen world within
[Female]
Thoughts make the climate where we live
[Male]
They shape the love and fear we give
[Together]
Change the root beneath the tree
And different fruit will come to be
From within
The power comes from within
From within
That is where the change begins
[Verse 3 ]
Every place can leave a trace
Upon the spirit and the face
The words we hear from day to day
Can clear the road or block the way
A house of anger trains the heart
To see a threat before it starts
A home of patience teaches eyes
To search for doors where hope may rise
Still, we choose what we rehearse
What we make better, what we make worse
The room may shape the air we breathe
But we decide what we believe
[Bridge ]
[Male]
You cannot stop each rain from falling
[Female]
But you can answer when hope is calling
[Male]
You cannot silence every warning
[Female]
But you can choose a brighter morning
[Male]
You cannot choose each wind that blows
[Female]
But you can choose which way you grow
[Male]
The world around you leaves its mark
[Female]
Still you can guard your inner spark
[Together]
Watch the story you repeat
Watch every thought you choose to keep
For what we carry night to dawn
Can shape the road we travel on

[Male]
Mind over matter, hold your ground
[Female Choir]
Hold your ground, stand firm and strong
[Female]
The strength within will lead you out
[Male Choir]
Let your inner truth speak loud
[Together]
Everything we build begins
In the unseen world within
Thoughts make the climate where we live
They shape the love and fear we give
Change the root beneath the tree
And different fruit will come to
