Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
Childhood felt like endless warmth,
No questions reached to do me harm.
World, a melody unbroken,
Before the truths were gently spoken.
Smiles of home, a steady view,
Not knowing what the years would do.
Pre-Chorus
Then the stillness found new ways,
Beneath the hush of softer days.
Honest answers took their place,
Shaping lines upon my face.
Chorus
And the clarity began to fade,
Left a quiet longing in its shade.
Still reaching for unbroken peace,
A gentle breath where storms release.
Post-Chorus
Oh, the trust bent but didn’t fall,
A tender ache, yet through it all…
Verse 2
Comfort wrapped in slow disguise,
Lost inside unmeasured skies.
Watched the hours drift and sway,
Hoping dawn would light my way.
Each morning brings familiar weight,
But softer now — it learns to wait.
Pre-Chorus
Then the stillness found new ways,
Beneath the hush of softer days.
Honest answers took their place,
Shaping lines upon my face.
Chorus
And the clarity began to fade,
Left a quiet longing in its shade.
Still reaching for unbroken peace,
A gentle breath where storms release.
Post-Chorus
Oh, the trust bent but didn’t fall,
A tender ache, yet through it all…
Bridge
I remember when the rain sang low,
And time was patient — letting me grow.
They say I’ve wandered from the track,
But I’ve found colors I once lacked.
Maybe it’s knowing who I’ve become,
Finding light in the place I’m from.
Outro
Still reaching for that steady ground,
Through the quiet all around.
And in the glow the morning lends,
I’ll keep on walking — it never ends.
