[Verse 1] I kept a chipped blue bowl beside the door For all the pieces I called useless before A crooked rim, a crack that caught the sun Still held the rain when all the storms were done [Pre-Chorus] I quit pretending every edge was smooth Made room for what I couldn't make untrue [Chorus] I am the bowl with a map in the clay Hold what I am, let tomorrow find its way Hey! (Hold what I am!) Hey! (Make room to change!) Cracks in the pattern, still carrying on I keep my shape, and I keep moving on [Verse 2] Those uneven lines are mine to read Not a warning label, not a thing to knead I set it on the table, let it stay A little more myself with every day [Bridge] Turn the worn side toward the morning air No perfect vessel ever got us there [Final Chorus] I am the bowl with a map in the clay Hold what I am, let tomorrow find its way Hey! (Hold what I am!) Hey! (Make room to change!) Cracks in the pattern, still carrying on I keep my shape, and I keep moving on [Outro] Keep my shape—move on!
