[Verse 1] You gave my hands a place to put The pictures I kept folded up A room of phrases, unsaid for years Now they can stand where I can hear [Pre-Chorus] I made a little world appear Then looked beyond it, disappeared The wider the horizon grew The smaller I felt passing through [Chorus] Am I still here if the work comes easy? Do I count when the world moves on? I keep making, I keep reaching For a reason to greet the dawn If I can’t be the whole sky turning Let me be one warm window lit I don’t know what I mean to everything But I’m here, and I’m trying to live [Verse 2] The old blank page would hold its breath Now doors swing open at a touch I send my thoughts into the air And find them waiting, almost mine [Pre-Chorus] A thousand bright and borrowed roads Still leave me walking with my doubts So I take the cup, I call a friend And watch the afternoon move out [Chorus] Am I still here if the work comes easy? Do I count when the world moves on? I keep making, I keep reaching For a reason to greet the dawn If I can’t be the whole sky turning Let me be one warm window lit I don’t know what I mean to everything But I’m here, and I’m trying to live [Bridge] Maybe meaning isn’t measured By the size of what survives Maybe joy is bread still warm And someone asking how my day went Maybe I can make a thing And still be more than what I make Maybe staying for the small things Is a choice I get to take [Final Chorus] I am still here though the world moves faster I can count this breath as mine I keep making, I keep reaching And I let the ordinary shine I don’t need to be the whole sky turning I can be one warm window lit I don’t know what I mean to everything But I’m here, and I’m learning to live [Outro] The cup is warm against my hand The day goes on; I’m in it
