[Verse 1]
I met you in your Sunday dress
Gold chain, chipped nail polish
Carrying grief like grocery bags
Still smiling through the polish
You laughed with your whole front tooth
Then cried in the parking lot
I saw both kinds of weather
And I loved what the storm brought
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t hide when the rain comes down
You let it mark your skin
Every scar, every soft goodbye
You wear it from within
[Chorus]
I admire you
Through every season
I admire you
For every reason
When you break, you bloom
When you fall, you rise
I admire you
All of your life
[Verse 2]
I saw you tired on the bus ride home
Head leaned on the window glass
Saw you dance at your brother’s wedding
Then sit quiet when the songs all passed
Saw your anger in the kitchen light
Saw your joy in a brand-new coat
Saw you carry your mother’s name
Like a stone and a boat
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t run from the hard days
You don’t dress them up in lace
You let the truth sit on your tongue
And still hold grace
[Chorus]
I admire you
Through every season
I admire you
For every reason
When you break, you bloom
When you fall, you rise
I admire you
All of your life
[Bridge]
Even when the world gets mean
And your heart gets loud
Even when your hands shake hard
You still stand your ground
I’ve seen your laughter, seen your loss
Seen your fire, seen your rest
Girl, you make survival
Look like a dress
[Final Chorus]
I admire you
Through every season
I admire you
For every reason
When you break, you bloom
When you fall, you rise
I admire you
All of your life
I admire you
(through every season)
