We drift like leaves On a river of time Through golden mornings And rain in the night Some roads are broken Some lead us home Yet every mile leaves A mark of its own So we carry the light We carry the rain The beautiful scars The joy and the pain There's a kindness hidden In all that we see If we open our hearts And let it be We take what we're given We learn as we go And hold to the love That the hard times have shown Gratefully We are passing stars In a limitless sky Brief little sparks As the seasons roll by A stranger's smile A hand reaching through Can turn a grey morning To something brand new So we carry the light We carry the rain The beautiful scars The joy and the pain There's a kindness hidden In all that we see If we open our hearts And let it be We take what we're given We learn as we go And hold to the love That the hard times have shown Gratefully (Oh-oh-oh) (Gratefully) (Oh-oh-oh) We carry the light We carry the rain The hearts that we've touched The memories remain There's a quiet beauty In all that we are In every small kindness In every old scar When the river runs low And the night settles in We'll cherish the journey The loss and the win Gratefully
