A River Finding Her Way

Verse 1

Morning comes and you're already moving

Small hands reaching up and you are soothing

Everyone who leans on you for shelter

While your own heart begs for something better

Pre-Chorus

Darling you have carried every weight

Every quiet tear you never let them see

Who is holding you when the day is late

Who reminds you that you matter too

Chorus

Choose yourself tonight

Let the world wait at the door

Put your own hand on your heart

You were never meant to pour from empty

Choose yourself tonight

Say no without a reason why

You are not selfish for surviving

You are sacred when you try

Verse 2

You build a home with your own two hands

Then stand alone when no one understands

The way you hold their dreams above your own

While underneath your strength a softer song is sown

Pre-Chorus

Oh the courage in a gentle no

Oh the peace in walking quietly away

Let the ones who love you truly know

You cannot give what you refuse to keep

Chorus

Choose yourself tonight

Let the world wait at the door

Put your own hand on your heart

You were never meant to pour from empty

Choose yourself tonight

Say no without a reason why

You are not selfish for surviving

You are sacred when you try

Bridge

You break and that is honest

You fall and that is true

A strong woman was never stone

She is a river finding her way through

Chorus

Choose yourself tonight

Let the world wait at the door

Put your own hand on your heart

You were never meant to pour from empty

Choose yourself tonight

Say no without a reason why

You are not selfish for surviving

You are sacred when you try
