"I Took That Leap" ©
by J. Michaels
The story — in my words
I wrote this during a period where it felt like every door I approached was locked and every train was stuck in the station. I was spinning my wheels in a place that didn't want me to win. The lyrics came to me when I realized that nobody was going to hand me a ticket out; I had to pack my own heart and just drive. I record this with a sense of urgency because that 'leap' isn't just a metaphor—it was that terrifying, beautiful moment of leaving a familiar misery for an uncertain joy. It’s dedicated to that specific person who acts as the lighthouse when you're navigating through the fog of your own doubts. We cut this track to feel like the exact moment your tires hit the highway and you realize you aren't turning back.
