The World I Carry

Verse 1

Woke up to a window full of rain

Grass still wet where I planted all those seeds

I stayed too long in rooms that felt the same

Till every turning became a brand new need

Got lost down a road I never chose

Found a river running through the undergrowth

Some days the quiet was the heaviest load

Some days the sunlight told the honest truth

Pre-Chorus

And I'm still here

Still reaching for the light

Chorus

Every scar and every song

Every step that felt so wrong

Made me who I am today

Every tear and every try

Every answer and why

Shapes the world I carry anyway

Verse 2

Met a stranger on a crowded train

She told me kindness is a language all its own

Failed a promise felt the sting of shame

Learned forgiveness starts when you're alone

Watched my father build a crooked fence

Saw my mother sing through broken glass

Now I hold the pieces with a patient sense

That what falls apart can still come back to last

Pre-Chorus

And I'm still here

Still reaching for the light

Chorus

Every scar and every song

Every step that felt so wrong

Made me who I am today

Every tear and every try

Every answer and why

Shapes the world I carry anyway

Bridge

Maybe it was always meant this way

The winding trail the weather and the rain

I'd do it all again to know this peace

To hold the morning with an open hand

To love the growing like the ground

Chorus

Every scar and every song

Every step that felt so wrong

Made me who I am today

Every tear and every try

Every answer and why

Shapes the world I carry anyway

Outro

Oh oh oh

Shapes the world I carry anyway
