Stephen said: “For me, ‘The Way’ reflects my own journey – a story of discovering that true strength doesn’t come from within, but from something greater. The song follows the path of a warrior who, after struggling to find power in his own efforts, uncovers the peace and strength that come through surrender.
“I’ve faced many difficult times, and it was only when I let go of my pride and ego that I experienced real strength, through grace. This song is my message to others: we are never alone in our struggles, and there is always hope, even in the darkest moments. ‘The Way’ is my testimony, a journey that mirrors the warrior’s realisation of divine strength through surrender. It is through this surrender that we find true freedom. This song is written to inspire, and I hope it reaches those who need it the most.”
