I’ve worn the scars of roads adrift
Carried the weight and still stayed swift
Watched dreams break and watched them mend
Forgotten a few chapters but not the end
Raised my children, let them fly
Learned some truths money can’t buy
Now I stand here, nothing to prove
Finally free in my own worn shoes
(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t need saving
I don’t need a hand
I’ve built this life
And I know where I stand
(Chorus)
I’m in acceptance of yesterday
Turned my wounds into strength along the way
When someone special comes into view
I’ll share this road and walk it through
Not to save me, not to change who I am
Just to understand the woman I became
Two hearts shining, steady and true
Living their stories, then writing one new
(Verse 2)
There were nights I thought I’d never heal
Times I forgot how hope could feel
But every ending taught me this
A broken road can still bring bliss
So here I am with an open heart
Not looking for someone to play a part
Just a soul who’s walked through fire too
And knows what honest love can do
(Pre-Chorus)
No empty spaces
No missing piece
Just a heart that’s found
Its own kind of peace
(BIG CHORUS)
I’ve made my peace with yesterday
Turned my wounds into strength along the way
If someone special comes into view
We’ll create tomorrow from a different view
Not to rescue, not to repair
Just two strong hearts with a life to share
Two hearts shining, steady and true
Living their stories, then writing one new
Bridge (music drops, then builds)
To anyone standing alone tonight
Wondering if they’ll ever find the light
Look in the mirror, it’s already there
You’ve carried more than you know you’ve carried despair
And love isn’t something you have to chase
Sometimes it arrives when you’ve found your place
Final Chorus (full power, backing vocals)
I’ve made my peace with yesterday
And I wouldn’t change the roads that shaped my way
If someone special comes into view
They’ll walk beside me, not carry me through
Two hearts singing steady and true
Living their stories, then writing one new
Living their stories, then writing one new…
(Outro)
At peace…
Still believing…
Still open…
Still me…
