[Verse]
Eyes open wide nothing promised here
Something breaks it all disappears
Learned to see the cracks in the glaze
Standing tall in this reckless maze
[Chorus]
I’ve learned not to take it for free
Grateful for the fight it’s shaping me
Somebody out there wishes they had
The little pieces I thought were bad
[Verse 2]
The wind howls it’s a broken tune
Under a sun that could die by noon
Still I’ve got breath and fire in my veins
Through the rubble I’ve rebuilt again
[Chorus]
I’ve learned not to take it for free
Grateful for the fight it’s shaping me
Somebody out there wishes they had
The scraps I took for granted so bad
[Bridge]
Footsteps heavy but I march through
Every scar earned nothing’s untrue
Rough roads dug the grit in my soul
Grateful now even for the holes
[Chorus]
I’ve learned not to take it for free
Grateful for the fight it’s shaping me
Somebody out there wishes they had
The dust I cursed the life unlived so glad
