[Verse 1] I woke with a pulse in the quiet A whole world waiting under my skin The day put a bruise on my shoulder And somehow I let the daylight in I have carried rooms full of worry Held every word I was afraid to say Then laughter broke through the ceiling And made a little more room in the gray [Pre-Chorus] Every feeling leaves a color Every loss redraws the view What a strange and sacred fortune To be changed by something true [Chorus] I get to feel it all The rise, the fall The hand that lets me go The love that makes me call I get to break and mend Begin again A thousand kinds of human In one brief life to spend [Verse 2] There are mornings made out of mercy There are afternoons heavy as stone A friend says my name at the doorway And suddenly I am not alone I have known the heat of resentment The clean surprise of letting it die The ache of a promise unfinished The ridiculous joy of asking why [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat keeps a record Not of perfect, but of true What a rare and wild permission To become someone new [Chorus] I get to feel it all The rise, the fall The hand that lets me go The love that makes me call I get to break and mend Begin again A thousand kinds of human In one brief life to spend [Bridge] So bring me the fear with the wonder Bring me the doubt with the flame Bring me the tears that arrive without warning And the courage to stay just the same If joy is a door left half-open If grief is the price of the view I will take every color it gives me I will make something honest and new [Final Chorus] I get to feel it all The rise, the fall The hand that lets me go The love that makes me call I get to break and mend Begin again A thousand kinds of human In one brief life to spend I get to feel it all The tender, the raw The beautiful confusion Of being here at all No feeling wasted No moment small What a privilege, what a wonder To have a life to feel it all [Outro] A pulse in the quiet A name in the air A heart still becoming I was lucky to be there
