Still Learning

Still learning Sun comes up the same way it did back then But the man it finds ain't quite who I've been I used to wear my temper like a coat Quick to argue and rock the boat Thought a hard reply would keep me safe But I had to learn how to stay afloat Now I catch the words before they leave I stay grateful for the blessings I receive Some days I forget and slip right back I guess I'm still learning how to believe I'm still learning how to soften where I bend I'm still learning that that feeling ain't the end Every day, every step getting clearer I'm still learning how to face the man in the mirror Old reflexes run deep to my core Used to think I was preparing for war Body remembers what the mind let go Bracing for a storm that ain't no more I been thanking him for keeping me alive Telling him the worst parts didn't survive So hand him the keys and we'll sit back Roll down the windows, just enjoy the ride I'm still learning how to soften where I bend I'm still learning that that feeling ain't the end Every day, every step getting clearer I'm still learning how to face the man in the mirror Big up to di youth weh hold mi down inna di rain Run through fire, never tell mi 'bout di pain Carried every weight, never asked for no applause Gave him every reason fi complain Mi nah forget him, mi cyaan erase di stain But mi cyaan let him drive di lane Same hand weh fight fi keep mi breathing Now a hand mi gotta train So mi say respect to di soldier inna mi brain Tell him rest now, no need fi explain Mi a learn di softer way fi move Same heart, just a different aim I'm still learning how to soften where I bend I'm still learning that that feeling ain't the end Every day, every step getting clearer I'm still learning how to face the man in the mirror I ain't who I was, and I ain't done yet still Still learning, still learning, still learning
