The Bread We Become

Title: The Bread We Become Verse 1 Grandma used to tell me, "Son, let yesterday be gone." I believed those old words 'Til I lived a little long. Now I know the miles behind me Still echo in my soul. Every dusty road I've traveled Led me where I stand alone. Pre-Chorus Scars don't speak with voices, But they never really lie. They remind us where we've stumbled, How we learned to stand and try. Chorus We're the bread we become, Made of tears and morning sun. A little hope, a little pain, A little loss, a little rain. Life keeps mixing all we've known, Into hearts we've never grown. Maybe that's the Father's plan... To make us more than who we am. Verse 2 Walking through the quiet fields, Thinking 'bout the hands of time. Then I tripped on a little stone, Left those heavy thoughts behind. Saw an old scar on my arm, Like a picture from my youth. Some old wounds may fade away, But they never lose the truth. Bridge I walked into the kitchen, My wife smiled without a word. She poured the oil into the flour, The sweetest thing I'd ever heard. I laughed at all my theories, Watching simple things unfold. Maybe life ain't keeping pieces... Maybe love just makes them whole. Final Chorus We're the bread we become, Still rising one by one. Every memory has a place, Every wrinkle, every trace. Don't be afraid of changing hands, Or roads you didn't plan. The finest loaf I've ever known Was never made from one grain alone. Outro So if tomorrow calls your name, Don't be scared to walk that road. The past is just another hand Helping lift your heavy load.
