Lyric

Everyone looked so grown, I felt so small

Hiding my feelings behind a wall

No rehearsal in this life we lead

No trophies for the hearts that bleed

Even with a face that shows no sign

I’m walking this narrow, lonely line

The bronze road glows beneath my feet

Breathing in rhythm, steady and sweet

Halfway through, but I’m doing fine

Ignoring the colors, the soul is mine

I don’t need the shine to feel whole

The peace is rising in my soul

We envy neighbors, we stare at the screen

Looking for joy in the spaces between

The world is full of faith and mistake

A fragile balance for goodness' sake

Silver shines with a perfect edge

Refusing to compromise, standing on the ledge

But color doesn't matter when you are free

Satisfied with the person I’m meant to be

Gold is a trap, like a high balloon

Floating away toward the afternoon

If you crave the medal, you’ll lose your sight

Don’t get blinded by the golden light

No rehearsal

No trophies

I am satisfied

I am free
