Lyrics
[Verse 1] At the blue pelican, the door swings wide Mara checks her tuning by the window side A paper set list softens in her hand She takes one breath and faces the small crowd again [Pre-Chorus] Her brother keeps time with a spoon on a glass She smiles at the tables as the first nerves pass [Chorus] I’ve got a song and a road to go A little more courage than i had before When you lean in close and sing along This room feels bigger than i dreamed it could [Verse 2] The cook slips out with his apron still tied A couple in the corner clap on the side Mara lets the last note settle and stay Then hears someone ask her to play it again [Pre-Chorus] She knows there are miles she has yet to roam But tonight these faces make this feel like home [Chorus] I’ve got a song and a road to go A little more courage than i had before When you lean in close and sing along This room feels bigger than i dreamed it could [Bridge] Someday there’ll be a stage beyond this door Tonight is what she’s been working toward She thanks the room, then starts the tune once more [Final chorus] I’ve got a song and a road to go A little more courage than i had before When you lean in close and sing along This room feels bigger than i dreamed it could [Outro] At the blue pelican, the chairs scrape slow Mara packs her guitar with a tune to go
