Give Me a Minute Verse 1 (easy swing, warm) I hung my badge up by the door Laid my working years down on the floor Thought I’d know just who I’d be With all that time surrounding me Turns out freedom talks real soft When you finally let yourself stop A little lost but feeling brave Learning how to live each day Pre-Chorus (gentle lift) I’ve got dreams folded in my hand Some need time, I understand No need to rush, no need to prove I’m allowed to choose Chorus (sunny, women’s harmony) Give me a minute, give me a breath I’m finding my way, I’m doing my best I’m not behind, I’m right on time This ain’t a race, it’s just my life Give me a minute, I’ll be fine There’s still good waiting in the line If I don’t know what’s next just yet Give me a minute Verse 2 (hopeful, conversational) They said, “Enjoy this season now” Like seasons don’t teach us how To wait, to trust, to listen deep To promises we get to keep There’s a rhythm under rest A quiet yes inside my chest I’m not done, I’m just between All I was and what I mean Pre-Chorus 2 (stacked harmony) I don’t need a five-year plan Just today, just who I am If I follow what feels true That’ll do Chorus (full harmony, brighter) Give me a minute, give me a breath I’m finding my way, I’m doing my best I’m not behind, I’m right on time This ain’t a race, it’s just my life Give me a minute, I’ll be fine There’s still good waiting in the line If I don’t know what’s next just yet Give me a minute Bridge (playful grit, call & response) (Lead) I’ve worn my worry like a coat (Group) Lay it down now, let it go (Lead) I don’t need to earn my place (Group) Love already knows my name (All) I’ll take this day the way it comes With open hands, with open lungs Final Chorus (joyful, big smile) Give me a minute, hear me say I’m learning how to love this space I don’t need answers all at once I just need a little trust Give me a minute, I’ll be fine I’m growing into this life of mine If I don’t know what’s next just yet Give me a minute Outro (warm, harmonized) Give me a minute That’s all I need Give me a minute I’m right where I’m meant to be
