[Verse 1] You stack the books beside the bed The map keeps folding past the edge A dozen doors you meant to try Still morning comes and asks you why [Pre-Chorus] So take one step, then take it slow The road is more than where you go [Chorus] You were never meant to finish everything Take part, take heart, let the unfinished sing Not every page, not every place Just leave your footsteps, leave your trace You were never meant to finish everything [Verse 2] Some dreams grow quiet, some take flight Some names slip past us in the night You can't be everywhere at once But you can give this hour your lungs [Pre-Chorus] So take one step, then take it slow The road is more than where you go [Chorus] You were never meant to finish everything Take part, take heart, let the unfinished sing Not every page, not every place Just leave your footsteps, leave your trace You were never meant to finish everything [Bridge] A seed won't count the fields it missed It opens where the rain found it A hand can hold one hand today And still be wide enough to stay [Final Chorus] You were never meant to finish everything Take part, take heart, let the unfinished sing Not every page, not every place Just leave your footsteps, leave your trace You were never meant to finish everything [Outro] Take part, take heart The living is the point
