Microprogressions

[Intro] [Acoustic guitar softly strumming, light piano in the background] [Gentle drumbeat gradually picks up] [Verse 1] I gave it all, watched it slip away, A life I built crumbled in a day. Broke and battered, trying to find a way, In the wreckage, I’m learning to stay. Lost the job, lost the dream, Two houses slipping from the seams. Looking in the mirror, I couldn’t see, That I could still believe in me. [Pre-Chorus] But today I made my bed, cleared the dust, Found a way to rebuild my trust. [Chorus] Microprogressions, they’re still steps ahead, I’m learning to live, not just in my head. I can’t change the storm, can’t stop the fall, But I’ll stand tall, I’ll stand through it all. The road is long, and the nights are cold, But I’ll keep walking, heart still bold. [Verse 2] I was twenty-one, lost in the dark, Drugs and failure left their mark. Thought I had it all in my twenties’ stride, But I never truly loved what’s inside. Now at thirty-six, I’m starting anew, Learning to smile, to push through. [Pre-Chorus] The clutter’s clearing, the weight’s less strong, With every step, I’m moving along. [Chorus] Microprogressions, they’re still steps ahead, I’m learning to live, not just in my head. I can’t change the storm, can’t stop the fall, But I’ll stand tall, I’ll stand through it all. The road is long, and the nights are cold, But I’ll keep walking, heart still bold. [Bridge] The pain is real, but so is the light, And I’ll keep fighting through the night. Grace to fall, grace to rise, I’ll find my way beneath these skies. [Chorus] Microprogressions, they’re still steps ahead, I’m learning to live, not just in my head. I can’t change the storm, can’t stop the fall, But I’ll stand tall, I’ll stand through it all. The road is long, and the nights are cold, But I’ll keep walking, heart still bold. [Outro] I’ll keep walking… heart still bold. [song end][stop]
