[Intro] [Soft paper rustle. Solo kora. A quiet breath.] [Verse 1] Life came through like an open window Scattering everything I knew Dreams with coffee stains and fingerprints Prayers I never finished through I kept reaching for the whole horizon While the moment slipped by Trying to gather every answer From a sky that wouldn’t stay [Chorus] I’m catching papers in the wind Pieces of where I’ve been Some are folded, some are torn Some still whisper, “Don’t give up” And if all I hold is one page tonight Maybe that’s enough Enough to write another sunrise Another song Proof that I still belong [Verse 2] Some pages land beside my footsteps Like they somehow know my name Not to pull me back to yesterday Just to show me I’ve been changed I used to think I had to hold them Every word and every line Now I let the ones I cannot carry Find their own way through the sky [Chorus] I’m catching papers in the wind Pieces of where I’ve been Some are folded, some are torn Some still whisper, “Don’t give up” And if all I hold is one page tonight Maybe that’s enough Enough to write another sunrise Another song Proof that I still belong [Bridge] [Instrumentation falls away. Kora and voice.] I thought my faith was a shelter Now it’s just sky And the wind keeps talking While I’m learning how to stay I don’t need the whole horizon I don’t need to know the way Just one small piece of something I can carry through today [Final Chorus] [Warm brass enters softly. Vocal rises.] I’m catching papers in the wind Pieces of where I’ve been Some are folded, some are torn Some still whisper, “Don’t give up” And if all I hold is one page tonight Maybe that’s enough Enough to write another sunrise Another song Proof that I still belong [Outro] [Brass fades. Solo kora returns.] I’ll keep one page in my pocket Blank enough for grace [Softly] Blank enough for grace
