I Have Begun

[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Still warm against the morning rain I traced the circle from the glass And let the quiet say your name I used to count the ways it broke us Every promise, every door Now I can feel the ground beneath me I don't need to hurt anymore [Pre-Chorus] If I stumble, let me stumble I have learned to rise again With a little room for wonder I can meet the world as friends [Chorus] I am finding my way back to breathing With my hands open wide to the day All the pieces I thought I was leaving Are the pieces that carried me here anyway And if your memory calls from the distance I will bless it, then turn toward the sun I am more than the weight of a moment I am here, I am here, I have begun [Verse 2] There is a bus stop near the river Where the old trees bend and lean I watched the water take the branches And return them silver-green Someone laughed behind a doorway Someone lit the porch at dawn For the first time in a long while I believed I could move on [Pre-Chorus] If I tremble, let me tremble That is proof my heart still knows Every road can change its ending Every seed can split the stone [Chorus] I am finding my way back to breathing With my hands open wide to the day All the pieces I thought I was leaving Are the pieces that carried me here anyway And if your memory calls from the distance I will bless it, then turn toward the sun I am more than the weight of a moment I am here, I am here, I have begun [Bridge] No more waiting for permission No more asking who I am I can carry what was given I can choose what comes at last [Final Chorus] I am finding my way back to breathing With my hands open wide to the day All the pieces I thought I was leaving Are the pieces that carried me here anyway And if your memory calls from the distance I will bless it, then turn toward the sun I am more than the weight of a moment I am here, I am here, I have begun [Outro] I am here I have begun
