(Verse 1) I carry silence like a song, I’ve learned to bend but not too long. They think my heart is easy to sway, But kindness is the hardest way. (Pre-Chorus) They call me fragile, they call me small… But I’m the strongest one of all. (Chorus) There’s a river in me that won’t run dry, It’s gentle, but it cuts through stone. They see me soft, but they don’t know why— Kindness is the strongest bone. (Verse 2) I’ve watched the takers take and take, Confuse forgiveness for mistake. But every scar they tried to leave, Just grew the roots inside of me. (Pre-Chorus) I won’t break down, I won’t give in… This quiet fight is how I win. (Chorus) There’s a river in me that won’t run dry, It’s gentle, but it cuts through stone. They see me soft, but they don’t know why— Kindness is the strongest bone. (Bridge – emotional lift) Strength doesn’t always roar, It’s standing when you can’t anymore. Steel doesn’t always shine… Sometimes it’s just holding the line. (Chorus – soaring) There’s a river in me that won’t run dry, It’s gentle, but it cuts through stone. They see me soft, but they don’t know why— Kindness is the strongest bone. (Outro – stripped back, haunting) There’s a river in me… There’s a river in me… And it burns bright.
