Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke with the laundry piled up by the chair
A sermon on the radio, half of it prayer
My coffee went cold while I stared at the floor
Still, I put on my shoes and I opened the door
[Chorus]
I’m tired, Lord, but I’m still here
With a little more courage than I had last year
If I lose my way, stay close as I roam
Teach me to keep going, and lead me back home
[Verse 2]
I’ve carried some worry like a stone in my coat
Made jokes at the table when I wanted to choke
But the neighbor down the hall needed someone to call
So I brought her some soup and I listened to it all
[Chorus]
I’m tired, Lord, but I’m still here
With a little more courage than I had last year
If I lose my way, stay close as I roam
Teach me to keep going, and lead me back home
[Bridge]
Make me compassionate, patient and kind
Funny enough to let the hard days unwind
When somebody stumbles, don’t let me look away
Give me two good ears and the right words to say
[Final Chorus]
I’m tired, Lord, but I’m still here
And hope has a habit of reappearing
If I lose my way, stay close as I roam
Teach me to keep going, and lead me back home
Yes, teach me to keep going, and lead me back home
[Outro]
Tomorrow can wait for the morning to come
Tonight I’ll be grateful for what we’ve become
I’m tired, Lord, but I’m still here
And somehow, somehow, You are near

Style
Intimate acoustic blues with a slow 6/8 sway, fingerpicked steel-string guitar, warm low-register upright bass, restrained brushed percussion, occasional gospel-tinged electric guitar answers, and subtle handclaps entering in the final chorus. Start sparse and close-miked, widen gradually through the second verse, then lift into a hopeful communal final chorus before a quiet guitar-led outro. Earthy room ambience, natural dynamics, slightly worn tape warmth, clear conversational lead vocal with tender phrasing and a touch of dry humor. Keep the arrangement human, uncluttered, and emotionally grounded.
