[Verse 1] The kettle quit singing, the hallway stayed dim Bills on the table, too much pressing in Mama held silence like a stone in her hand I sat by the doorway, forgot how to stand Then you laid your warm weight down on the floor Breathing so softly beside the door No sermon, no answer, no promise somehow Just your eyes saying, “Stay with me now” [Pre-Chorus] And the room got smaller And the clock moved slow Your shoulder met my hand Like a place I know [Chorus] Right here, right here You’re the tailwind when the day won’t steer Right now, right now Rest for the soul when we don’t know how You can’t mend every breaking part But you bring us close, you steady the heart Right here, right now We can breathe, we can breathe somehow [Verse 2] When little hands trembled beneath the kitchen light You nudged them gently, then stayed through the night When Dad lost his temper, then lowered his head You curled by his feet till the hard words fled A purr in the quiet, a sigh in the hall One soft shoulder waiting whenever we fall Your kindness is humble, your comfort is true Time lays down its burden when we lean into you [Pre-Chorus] And the room got softer And the clock moved slow Your shoulder met my hand Like a place I know [Chorus] Right here, right here You’re the tailwind when the day won’t steer Right now, right now Rest for the soul when we don’t know how You can’t mend every breaking part But you bring us close, you steady the heart Right here, right now We can breathe, we can breathe somehow [Bridge] Bless the quiet breath beside us Bless the trust that doesn’t leave Bless the warmth beneath our fingers Bless the strength to just receive For every day we thought would break us For every night we made it through Mercy found a fur-covered shoulder And a family gathered close to you [Chant] Right here Right now Right here Right now Let the heavy hour loosen Let the tired heart bow Right here Right now We are held somehow [Final Chorus] Right here, right here You’re the tailwind when the day won’t steer Right now, right now Rest for the soul when we don’t know how You can’t mend every breaking part But you bring us close, you steady the heart Right here, right now We can breathe, we can breathe somehow [Outro] Warm weight on the floor Quiet breathing near My hand comes back home Right now, right here
