I’ll Try Again Tomorrow

They tell you courage roars like thunder

Like fists in the air like nothin’ hurts

But I’ve known courage in the silence

When the day just finally quits

When the house goes still the lights go low

And the mirror tells the truth

Not brave enough to fix it all

Just brave enough to make it through

I’ve had days that didn’t look heroic

Just breathing felt like work

Smiled through things I never mention

Learned how to hide the hurt

I didn’t win I didn’t shine

Didn’t say the perfect thing

But I stayed and sometimes staying

Is the bravest move you make

It ain’t loud it ain’t proud

But it’s real

Courage don’t always roar

Don’t always make a sound

Sometimes it’s just a quiet voice

When the sun’s goin’ down

Sayin' "I’ll Try Again Tomorrow"

When today took all you had

It’s not givin’ up it’s holdin’ on

And that’s courage plain and simple as that

I’ve walked with people cracked wide open

Held their fear in both my hands

Watched hope rise up in pieces

Just enough to make a stand

I’ve learned you don’t heal overnight

You don’t fix what broke in years

You just wake up and you try again

Through the doubt through the tears

I’ve had faith that fit in whispers

Hope that barely showed its face

But even mustard-seed belief

Still knows exactly where it’s placed

You don’t have to climb the mountain

Just take one more honest step

Courage ain’t about the distance

It’s about what you do next

If all you did today was survive

Courage don’t always roar

Don’t always make a sound

Sometimes it’s just a quiet voice

When the sun’s goin’ down

Sayin’ “I’ll try again tomorrow”

When today took all you had

It’s not givin’ up it’s holdin’ on

And that’s courage plain and simple as that

You don’t have to be fearless

You don’t have to be strong

You don’t have to have the answers

To prove you belong

If you’re tired if you’re shaky

If you’re doin’ the best you can

That quiet “try again”

Is still a stand

Every morning you open your eyes

You’re already brave

Every time you don’t quit on yourself

You’re choosin’ to stay

And the world may never clap for that

But heaven knows your name

Courage don’t always roar

Sometimes it barely speaks

Sometimes it’s just gettin’ through

Another long hard week

Whispering “I’ll try again tomorrow”

That’s enough for now

That’s how the strongest hearts

Are built somehow

Some nights, courage looks like rest

Some days it looks like walkin’ away

Sometimes it’s sayin’ not today

So you can say yes someday

Courage don’t always roar

Don’t need a spotlight sound

Sometimes it’s just a quiet voice

When the world shuts down

Sayin’ “I’ll try again tomorrow”

That promise gets you through

It’s not weakness it’s wisdom

It’s faith in what you’ll do

Courage don’t always roar

But it always shows up true

I’ll try again tomorrow

I’ll try again tomorrow

You made it through today

That’s all you had to do

Courage don’t always roar

Sometimes it sounds like you
