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
