[Verse 1] I woke with the receipt still folded in my coat A small blue ticket from a place I used to know The kettle clicked, the morning held its breath I chose the road that hadn't answered yet [Pre-Chorus] No map in my pocket, no promise in the air But every step I take says I am still here [Chorus] I can begin again With both hands open wide The door is where I stand The road is on my side I don't need a perfect sign To move into the day I can begin again And make a little way [Verse 2] My neighbor plants tomatoes by a rusted garden gate She says the late ones taste the sweetest on the plate I carried that sentence through the afternoon Like a match kept dry inside a paper room [Pre-Chorus] The years may leave their fingerprints on everything I know But even cracked glass catches every color when it shows [Chorus] I can begin again With both hands open wide The door is where I stand The road is on my side I don't need a perfect sign To move into the day I can begin again And make a little way [Bridge] If I bend, I am not broken If I pause, I am not done There is work beneath the worry There is warmth behind the sun Call my name and I will answer Take my hand, we'll take it slow What I thought was just an ending Was a place to start and grow [Final Chorus] I can begin again With both hands open wide The door is where I stand The road is on my side I don't need a perfect sign To move into the day I can begin again And make a little way [Outro] One small step, then another One clear breath, then another I can begin again
