[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar, melodic clean electric guitar lead] [Verse 1] [male tenor vocals] I don't think you know what you do to people The way you make a heavy heart feel light You walk into a room carrying your own questions Still somehow you make everybody feel right I see the things you carry in silence The hidden battles nobody knows I see the love you keep giving away Even when your own heart has words to say You listen to the things nobody says You see the hurt hiding behind a smile You give away pieces of your own heart Like you've got forever and a little while [Chorus] [drums and bass enter] Maybe you've been searching for a sign Waiting for the word to tell you why But love has been here all along Reminding you of where you belong If you could see yourself the way I see you You'd understand why people come your way You know the words you thought were ordinary Were the ones somebody needed that day You don't have to prove that you're enough You don't have to earn your place You've been carrying something beautiful A heart noone can ever replace [Verse 2] [acoustic guitar continues, light synth pads] You remember things most people forget Little moments that they thought disappeared You turn the pages nobody wants to open And somehow make them feel safe being there You build bridges without saying a word You bring people back to who they were Never asking for the recognition Never seeing how far you've come this season [Bridge] [crescendo, driving drums] But I have seen every step you've taken Every mountain you climbed alone Every seed you planted in the darkness That became something beautiful and grown Maybe you've been looking through borrowed eyes Trying to find yourself in somebody else's life But the thing you've been waiting to find Has been quietly growing inside [Chorus 2] [full band, high energy] If you could see yourself the way I see you You'd understand the beauty that you possess You know the love you keep giving away Is worth more than you'll ever know You don't have to chase the moment You don't have to force the door Some things find you when you're ready Some things were always yours [Bridge] [drums drop out, acoustic guitar and piano] Don't rush the river, don't fight the tide The moon doesn't question the ocean at night And when your heart finally opens to everything you are You'll realize you were never lost You were never too far [Final Chorus] One day you'll see what heaven could see Before you ever learned your pain Every road that broke you, every door that closed Was life preparing a home for the gold in you to show And I hope you see, and you finally know The beauty you see in others Is a mirror of your own soul [outro] [falsetto] You are enough You are accepted You are wonderful You are appreciated You are divine You are joy You are worthy You are beautiful you are loved You are one of a kind [acoustic guitar fades out]
