Lyrics
[Verse 1] She woke before the phone Before the house had heat Bare feet on the cold tile A cracked cup by her feet She tied her hair back tight Looked straight into the glass There was thunder in her chest But she let it pass [Pre-Chorus] One breath Then another She let the hurt fall off No one saw her But she knew What it costs [Chorus] She rose quietly She rose quietly No shout, no crown, just grace (rose quietly) She rose quietly She rose quietly And left the old ache in place (left it in place) [Verse 2] The corner store was open Rain dark on the glass She bought a loaf of bread And a plan to last A seed in her jacket A key in her hand She learned how to hold her ground Without a loud demand [Pre-Chorus] One breath Then another She let the hurt fall off No one saw her But she knew What it costs [Chorus] She rose quietly She rose quietly No shout, no crown, just grace (rose quietly) She rose quietly She rose quietly And left the old ache in place (left it in place) [Bridge] If the world kept calling She didn't answer back She made a way through every room And never looked off track [Final Chorus] She rose quietly She rose quietly No shout, no crown, just grace (rose quietly) She rose quietly She rose quietly And left the old ache in place (left it in place) She rose quietly She rose quietly And made her own warm space (made her own warm space)
