Lyrics
No One Told Me I Couldn’t (So I Did)
Verse 1
I was the boy with his head in the sky
In a town where the dreams don’t fly
No cap, no plan, no silver spoon
But I aimed for the stars like I’d land there soon
No one around had walked that road
But no one told me it was closed
They never said, “That’s not for you”
So I ran like the dream was true
⸻
Chorus
I didn’t know I couldn’t
So I did
I didn’t know the door was locked
So I walked right in
Not brave, not bold, not faithful or clever
I just didn’t know any better
I didn’t know the sky was out of reach
So I climbed
I didn’t know you needed someone’s hand to hold the line
I never doubted, not even a little
I just didn’t know any better
⸻
Verse 2
My dad’s blue collar, hands of steel
But his heart gave me something real
He couldn’t pay, he couldn’t pave
But he never told me not to chase
A full ride seat in the front row
At a school where the big dreams grow
I didn’t blink, I didn’t stall
I just walked like I belonged
⸻
(Chorus repeats)
⸻
Bridge
I wasn’t brave, I wasn’t wise
I just didn’t see the other side
Where the world says “Stop,” I heard “Go”
Nobody told me no
⸻
Final Chorus (Bigger)
I didn’t know I couldn’t
So I did
I didn’t know the door was locked
So I walked right in
Not brave, not bold, not faithful or clever
I just didn’t know any better
I didn’t know the sky was out of reach
So I climbed
I didn’t know you needed someone’s hand to hold the line
I never doubted, not even a little
I just didn’t know any better
