Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You walk in quiet Back to the wall Doing your best To look kinda small But I see the tremor Hiding in your hand The way you measure Every word you plan [Chorus] You don’t have to earn your place here You don’t have to stand up straight Every scar and shaking shoulder Gets to show up late You are not a broken story You are not a test to prove You’re a miracle in motion And I carry all of you [Verse 2] He jokes too loudly Talking over friends Keeps his eyes busy On his phone again But I see the spinning Of a restless mind How he’s always bracing For the hit this time [Chorus] You don’t have to earn your place here You don’t have to stand up straight Every scar and shaking shoulder Gets to show up late You are not a broken story You are not a test to prove You’re a miracle in motion And I carry all of you [Bridge] Some hurts you can circle On a doctor’s page Some stay buried Deep beneath the name But a heart is a heart In a bruised-up chest If you’re breathing in You belong with the rest (oh yeah) [Chorus] You don’t have to earn your place here You don’t have to stand up straight Every wound and every wonder Gets to show up late You are not a broken story You are not a test to prove You’re a miracle in motion And I carry all of you [Outro] Come sit closer Bring your heavy truth We’ll make a wide table Big enough for you
