More Than The Measure

[Verse 1] I woke with the weight of a borrowed name And a map full of roads that all looked the same Then a small bright thought by the kitchen sink Said, take one step before you overthink [Pre-Chorus] I don't need the whole sky To know where I belong A match can teach the dark How to turn into a dawn [Chorus] I am more than the measure More than the miles I have run Every scar holds a lesson Every morning says, begin again I can rise, I can rise With my hands open wide The road is still waiting And I am still alive [Verse 2] There were names I outgrew, there were doors I missed There were plans in a drawer with a faded list But the rain on the glass kept a steady time And the first green leaf made a case for mine [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a perfect heart To carry something true The parts I tried to hide Can make a bridge to you [Chorus] I am more than the measure More than the miles I have run Every scar holds a lesson Every morning says, begin again I can rise, I can rise With my hands open wide The road is still waiting And I am still alive [Bridge] If I fall, let the ground be honest If I doubt, let the doubt pass through There is strength in the slow becoming There is room for a different view [Final Chorus] I am more than the measure More than the miles I have run Every scar holds a lesson Every morning says, begin again I can rise, I can rise With my hands open wide The road is still waiting And I am still alive [Outro] One step, then another No finish line in sight I carry what I’ve learned And walk into the light
