Lyric

On an evening grid, I wear my brave like thread

Every scar I keep turns sugar in my chest

You come close, and the hard shell starts to bend

Even the long road learns to soften in your hands

We were built for the bend

Built for the bend

When the weight gets loud

We still begin

Hold me up, hold me up (Hold me up)

We get through, we get through (We get through)

Lantern in my chest (Lantern in my chest)

You make the dark look new (Make it new)

In the usual day, I move through iron rain

Work turns sharp, but I still choose the tender flame

I trade my rush for a slower kind of strength

And I let your name be shelter in the break

We were built for the bend

Built for the bend

When the weight gets loud

We still begin

Hold me up, hold me up (Hold me up)

We get through, we get through (We get through)

Lantern in my chest (Lantern in my chest)

You make the dark look new (Make it new)

I wore my scars like sky-borne maps

Walked through the ache, came back intact

The ground may shake, the vow still stands

I make a home with empty hands

Every age knows this same rain

Every heart learns how to name the pain

I keep my flame in a hidden seam

And feed it hope and a steady dream

So if your shoulders bend tonight

I’ll be the rope, I’ll be the light

We don’t break, we bend

Then rise again

Second wind, take me in

Let me breathe again

Second wind, take me in

We can start again

Hold me close, let it spin

Through the doubt I’ve been

Second wind, take me in

We can start again

In borrowed hours, I learned to care

To soften stone with patient air

For love, I left the hard shell door

For work, I learned to give, not war

I read the room like changing weather

Kept my word stitched tight together

No blaze too loud, no pride too tall

Just a kind of strength that’s made for all

So if the night feels long enough

We make it holy, make it rough

We don’t fall apart

We learn the art

Second wind, take me in

Let me breathe again

Second wind, take me in

We can start again

Hold me close, let it spin

Through the doubt I’ve been

Second wind, take me in

We can start again

I know the silence, I know the bend

I know the cost of pretending

But the bruise can bloom

And the cracked place can sing

So lift your eyes from the gray

There’s a dawn in the middle of today

Not a cure, not a crown

Just the courage to stay

Second wind, take me in

Let me breathe again

Second wind, take me in

We can start again

Hold me close, let it spin

Through the doubt I’ve been

Second wind, take me in

We can start again
