Capable, Even When I'm Shaking

[Verse 1]
Alarm clock screaming, boots by the door
Same old mirror
Same old doubt
"Who do you think you’re trying to be now?"
Truck key turning, hands still cold
Heart keeps racing
Dream feels bold
Comfort saying, "Kid, just do what you're told"
[Chorus]
But I’m capable, even when I’m shaking
I can taste the fear, still I keep on taking
One more step, one more mile
Through the hard and through the trial
I can achieve it if I believe it
Won’t let comfort be the cage I breathe in
I’m capable
I’m capable
[Verse 2]
Mama at the table, Bible in her hands
Said, "Baby, faith
Ain’t just words
It’s getting up again when your pride is hurt"
So I pack that courage with my worn-out jeans
Write my name
On that line
If I don’t bet on me, I’m losing every time
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m capable, even when I’m shaking
I can taste the fear, still I keep on taking
One more step, one more mile
Through the hard and through the trial
I can achieve it if I believe it
Won’t let comfort be the cage I breathe in
I’m capable
I’m capable
[Bridge]
Yeah I’ve failed
Yeah I’ve fallen
But there’s a fire
That keeps calling (oh yeah)
"This ain’t the end
Just the start"
Of me growing past my own scared heart
[Chorus]
I’m capable, even when I’m shaking
I can taste the fear, still I keep on taking
One more step, one more mile
Through the hard and through the trial
I can achieve it if I believe it
Won’t let comfort be the cage I breathe in
I’m capable
Yeah, I’m capable

country, Warm modern country with male vocals, gentle fingerpicked acoustic and soft brushed kit in the verse; chorus opens with steady kick, light mandolin, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Energy arcs from quiet, doubtful introspection to a confident singalong, with a short dynamic drop before the last chorus for a crowd-chant moment. Subtle pedal steel swells glue the sections together.
