Verse 1 I’ve been walking with my shoulders tight Holding every worry through the night Every step felt like a test Every answer needed to be guessed I didn’t know how tired I’d been Until I felt the quiet settle in Like the world was lending me a hand Showing me some softer places to land Pre-Chorus I don’t need to prove a thing I can finally let myself lean Chorus There are soft places to land When you stop running fast When you let the moment catch you Instead of chasing back the past There are soft places to land You don’t have to understand Just open up your heart a little There are soft places to land Verse 2 I used to think I had to fall Before I’d feel anything at all But now I see the gentler truth There’s strength in being held by you Every breath comes easy now Like I don’t have to ask how Life will turn or where I stand I found some softer places to land Pre-Chorus I don’t need a perfect plan I just need a steady hand Chorus There are soft places to land When you stop running fast When you let the moment catch you Instead of chasing back the past There are soft places to land You don’t have to understand Just open up your heart a little There are soft places to land Bridge Maybe rest is not retreat Maybe peace is strength in me Maybe love was never loud Just quietly waiting all around Instrumental Break (Warm electric piano, gentle guitar fills, soft harmonies humming “mmm”) Final Chorus There are soft places to land Even after all you’ve been through When you stop holding your breath And let the world come back to you There are soft places to land You don’t have to take a stand Just let yourself be here awhile There are soft places to land Outro Soft places… Soft places to land…
