[Verse 1]
Woke up with that weight again
Coffee cold on the countertop
Rain tapping like an old regret
But my feet still find the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been cracked
I’ve been shaken
Thought my faith was breaking
Every doubt in my head screaming “turn back now”
But I breathe in
I straighten
All this time it’s been waiting
That small
Steady voice saying out loud
[Chorus]
Never break
Only bend
I might shake
But I won’t end
Shine bright through any storm
I shall walk through
I’ll be reborn
Every step on shattered ground
Is a promise I’ve already found
Never break
Only bend
I shall walk through it again
[Verse 2]
People talk in quiet rooms
Try to measure what they’ve never held
They don’t see the hidden scars
Or the way I mend myself
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been lost
I’ve been leaving
Tried to outrun my own breathing
Every shadow on the wall calling out my name
But I stand up
Still believing
In the beauty of the grieving
Every tear in the dark feeding that flame
[Chorus]
Never break
Only bend
I might shake
But I won’t end
Shine bright through any storm
I shall walk through
I’ll be reborn
Every step on shattered ground
Is a promise I’ve already found
Never break
Only bend
I shall walk through it again
[Bridge]
If the sky falls
Let it fall around me
I’ll be walking through the thunder
Till the dawn finally crowns me (oh yeah)
If my voice shakes
Let it shake and sound free
I’m the gold inside the pressure
I’m the root beneath the tree
[Chorus]
Never break
Only bend
I might shake
But I won’t end
Shine bright through any storm
I shall walk through
I’ll be reborn
Every step on shattered ground
Is a promise I’ve already found
Never break
Only bend
I shall walk through to the end
