Scars
[Intro]
[Verse]
If I'd seen the road before me
I'd have tried to run ahead
Chasing every distant horizon
Living in tomorrow instead
But the answers stayed hidden
Beyond each winding bend
Emerging from the background
Again and again and again
[Chorus]
What was slipping through my hands
Was never mine to keep
What I thought was disappearing
Was awakening beneath
Every storm was drawing lines
I was never meant to see
Until the shape emerged at last
Of what was forming quietly
[Verse]
Pressure never came to break me
Though at times it felt that way
It was shaping hidden contours
That only hindsight could convey
Now I stand among the fragments
Of the life I thought would be
And I finally see the purpose
Of what was forming quietly
[Chorus]
What was slipping through my hands
Was never mine to keep
What I thought was disappearing
Was awakening beneath
Every storm was drawing lines
I was never meant to see
Until the shape emerged at last
Of what was forming quietly
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Every scar became a teacher
Every wound became a guide
Every dream that fell to pieces
Left a clearer view inside
The world may never comprehend
The steps that led me here
But beneath the weight of sorrow
Something sovereign appeared
[Final Chorus]
What was slipping through my hands
Was never mine to keep
What I thought was disappearing
Was awakening beneath
Every storm was drawing lines
I was never meant to see
Until the shape emerged at last
Of what was forming quietly
[Outro]
The answers stayed hidden
Beyond each winding bend
Emerging from the background
Again and again and again...
