Lyric

Morning steam from a chipped blue cup

Bare feet on a cool wood floor

Calendar full, but the clock moves kind

I breathe once

Then once more

I’m learning how to live in the middle

Not ahead, not behind, just here

Every breath like a bright small medal

Pinned on the quiet part of fear

When I open both my hands to the moment

All the storms turn back into rain

I’m learning how to live in the middle

And peace runs through my veins

Traffic hums like a distant choir

Crosswalk blink, and the crowds all push

I choose slow on a yellow light

Call it grace

Call it hush

I’m walking through the rush like a river

Streets shout, but the heart stays clear

Every step turns the noise to a shiver

Fading out as the truth draws near

When I listen to the space in the chaos

Little kindnesses start to appear

I’m walking through the rush like a river

And stillness steers the wheel

Old friend calls just to say he’s tired

Says his hope feels paper-thin

We trade jokes, then we trade our scars

Leave the weight

Where it’s been

We’re wiring all the cracks with courage

Golden seams running through our days

Every flaw like a frame for the sunlight

Shining hard through the fragile places

When we lean on the strength of each other

Even heartbreak begins to praise

We’re wiring all the cracks with courage

And peace learns all our names

Evening light on the kitchen table

Half-read book and a sink half-done

I hum low as the water runs

Let it drip

Like a song

I’m ending every day with a blessing

Not for perfect, just for true

Little snapshots of quiet triumphs

Stacked like stones as the night comes through

When I lay every burden in silence

Every shadow turns soft and blue

I’m ending every day with a blessing

And peace lies down here too

Here’s to the mess and the miracle mixed

To the scars we kiss, to the dreams we fix

To the long deep breath when the lights go down

To the steady small joy that we’ve finally found
