[Verse 1] I learned the shape of a locked-up room Counted the cracks where the cold came through Kept one match in a coffee tin Saved it for the day I could begin I wore the night like a second skin Heard every doubt let itself walk in But under the floor, under all that weight A small brave pulse kept changing its fate [Pre-Chorus] I was bent, not broken Buried, not gone The dark had a doorway And I kept moving on [Chorus] I came through the dark with my hands still open Found a little faith in the words unspoken Now the light finds me, and I let it stay I survived the night, now I’m making my way I came through the dark, every scar still shining Turned the ache I carried into something rising No, I won’t go back to the life I outgrew I found the morning, and I’m stepping into [Verse 2] There were weeks when the phone stayed still Rain on the glass, dust on the windowsill I learned that healing can take its time Like roots in winter beneath hard ground Then one plain day, by the kitchen sink I caught my face before I could think Not fearless, no, but standing tall With enough of myself to answer the call [Pre-Chorus] I was bent, not broken Buried, not gone The dark had a doorway And I kept moving on [Chorus] I came through the dark with my hands still open Found a little faith in the words unspoken Now the light finds me, and I let it stay I survived the night, now I’m making my way I came through the dark, every scar still shining Turned the ache I carried into something rising No, I won’t go back to the life I outgrew I found the morning, and I’m stepping into [Bridge] If you’re down where the walls lean in If you’re tired of beginning again Take my hand, you don’t have to run There is more than the dark has done We are more than the nights we knew More than the hurt that we carried through When the first clear color breaks the gray We’ll lift our eyes and make room for day [Final Chorus] We came through the dark with our hands still open Found a little faith in the words unspoken Now the light finds us, and we let it stay We survived the night, now we’re making our way We came through the dark, every scar still shining Turned the ache we carried into something rising No, we won’t go back to the lives we outgrew We found the morning, and we’re stepping into [Outro] Stepping into Stepping into The light we made it through to
