Sweetness in My Hand

A sky painted in streaks of red and gold,

Sweetness in my hand, smooth and cold.

Soft colors in the glass, catching morning light,

Cherry on the rim, everything feels right.

I see all their smiles, but I know there’s a strain,

I sip my calm and I don’t run from the pain.

I’ve faced every feeling, no need to erase,

Sweetness in my hand is a calmer place.

(Pre chorus)

Peace resting easy, settling in my soul,

It teaches me to breathe again, feel in control.

No more cloudy thoughts or living in disguise,

Sweetness in my hand and a clear blue sunrise.

Citrus on the rim, a twist of orange bright,

Meets the soft pink sunrise in the early light.

I sip through the moment with a steady hand,

Grateful that my life goes just how I planned.

They line up for tequila, chasing one more high,

I stand firm in my peace, watching the same sky.

They drown in their problems, reason out of sight,

Sweetness in my hand all through a star-filled night.

(Pre chorus)

Quiet morning waking, nothing in my head,

No more words I wish that I had never said.

Morning feels much lighter in the early light,

Sweetness in my hand and everything feels right.

They raise up their drinks just to hide what they’ve done,

I raise steady hands, seeing how far I’ve come.

That same sunrise breaks through the clouds up above,

Sweetness in my hand, seeing clear what I love.

(Bridge)

I used to chase what faded with the night,

Now I hold steady in the morning light.

No more running circles in my mind so fast,

Sweetness in my hand, I’m finally built to last.

(Chorus)

Peace resting easy, settling in my soul,

It teaches me to breathe again, feel in control.

No more cloudy thoughts or living in disguise,

Sweetness in my hand and a clear blue sunrise.

Quiet morning waking, nothing in my head,

No more words I wish that I had never said.

Morning feels much lighter in the early light,

Sweetness in my hand and everything feels right.

Sweetness in my hand, yeah, sweetness in my hand.
