[Verse 1]
Long road
Dust on my shoes
Another closed door
Same old bad news
I circle the date
On a calendar page
Tell myself softly
"This isn’t the cage"
[Pre-Chorus]
Every tear in the dark gets counted
Every step on the path gets found
When it feels like the end of the story
[low vocal register] It’s only the first few rounds
[Chorus]
Good things are coming
Hold on tight
Even in the longest
Heaviest night
This is not the end of the line
There’s a bigger sunrise outside of time
Good things are coming
You will see
More than every broken memory
This small breath is only part of life
We’re made for forever
For endless light
[Verse 2]
Hands shake
Bills on the table
Friends fade away
I don’t feel able
But hope is a seed
Deep in the ground
Looks like it’s gone
Then it cracks the stone
Comes out
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “why” that we ask gets carried
Every silence is heard somehow
When it feels like your heart’s been abandoned
[whispered vocals] Heaven is leaning in now
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
One day we’ll look back laughing
At the nights we thought we’d drown
See the thread in every heartbreak
How it stitched us to that crown
We’ll trade this ache for glory
Every scar for shining skin
What we lost in all these winters
Comes back warmer
Full
Again [crescendo]
[Chorus]
