Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your letter by the kitchen clock Three careful lines and a key that turned the lock I read it twice, then folded it away Some doors close softly, but they still change the day [Pre-Chorus] I kept your picture in an old blue frame Not for the past, just to remember your name [Chorus] I’m learning how to stand when the ground moves Finding a road that my own heart approves Every hard mile leaves a mark I can use I’m still here, still rising, still choosing my truth [Verse 2] The train rolled east beneath the county bridge Cold metal singing along the morning ridge I heard your voice in the rhythm of the wheels Then heard my own in the space between the steel [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed promise, no borrowed disguise I’m meeting the person I see in my eyes [Chorus] I’m learning how to stand when the ground moves Finding a road that my own heart approves Every hard mile leaves a mark I can use I’m still here, still rising, still choosing my truth [Bridge] If the rain comes down, let it wash the dust away If the night gets long, I’ll make a brighter day I won’t turn back for a sign that disappeared The road is mine, and the next step starts right here [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I’m learning how to stand when the ground moves Finding a road that my own heart approves Every hard mile leaves a mark I can use I’m still here, still rising, still choosing my truth [Outro] Still here, still rising Choosing my truth
