The shadows played their old refrain
Whispering doubts and subtle pain
I tried to build a sturdy wall Afraid of breaking
Afraid to fall But in the quiet
In the deep Secrets that my heart would keep
Oh, it took some time
And stormy weather To pull myself back all together Every crack
A brand new start Writing lessons on my heart Yeah
This journey's mine
From deep inside With nowhere left for me to hide!
Sometimes I lost the winding trail
And thought my spirit might just fail But then a whisper
Soft and low Reminded me which way to go
A fragile hope began to bloom Chasing out the empty room
Oh, it took some time, and stormy weather
To pull myself back all together Every crack
A brand new start Writing lessons on my heart Yeah
This journey's mine
From deep inside With nowhere left for me to hide!
I used to chase a perfect dream Ignoring
Truth's unsteady stream But now I know
The real design Is being perfectly
Messy mine With all my flaws
And all my grace I'm finally finding my own place
Oh, it took some time, and stormy weather
To pull myself back all together Every crack
A brand new start Writing lessons on my heart Yeah
This journey's mine
From deep inside With nowhere left for me to hide!
