[Verse]
Born under dim skies dust in his veins
Carried questions like scars from the rain
Each door he knocked led to silence or stone
He thought he'd journey through life alone
[Verse 2]
A meadow once whispered a truth in the breeze
Sun touching his skin while he fell to his knees
He brushed it away said it couldn’t be real
Just weather and warmth nothing he'd feel
[Chorus]
But signs don’t scream no they hum and they ache
They crack at the surface and wait till you break
A laugh with a stranger a bird in the night
Bruised hands reaching up to an unspoken light
[Verse 3]
The years piled on like leaves in the fall
He lost more than found but he answered the call
A child’s laugh melted a fracture inside
A glimmer of faith he could no longer hide
[Bridge]
He counted every misstep each time that he fell
Couldn't see grace painting heaven from hell
A thousand small clues in the shadows he’d missed
Longing wrapped tight in each tender twist
[Verse 4]
Then came the day when the silence was loud
A song on the wind a face in the crowd
A woman who held him and said it’s okay
In that quiet tear he saw a brighter day
