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
