Always Leaning In - Arden Coley
I don't fall fast, I hesitate
I circle truths, I second guess
But every time you speak my name
I lean in, despite myself
Always leaning in
Even when I'm unsure
Drawn by something quiet and pure
I don't know how
I don't know when
I just keep leaning in
You don't pull, you don't demand
You leave the door right where I stand
And somehow that's what pulls me through
The freedom you give feels true
Always leaning in
Closer than planned
Reaching out with an open hand
Not chasing wins, not proving skin
Just always leaning in
If risk is choosing where to fall
I choose you, gentle call
Always leaning in, soft and slow
Trusting where the quiet goes
This is how my courage begins
By always leaning in
