[Verse 1] I found your letter in the kitchen drawer Folded beneath the receipts from years before Your careful handwriting still knows my name And every quiet room feels changed [Pre-Chorus] When I am tired, when I lose my way I feel the courage you gave me stay [Chorus] Your spirit lives in me A steady flame I cannot see It moves through every breath I take It gives me strength when my hands shake Though time has carried you away Your love still finds me every day I stand, I breathe, I believe Your spirit lives in me [Verse 2] I wear your old blue sweater in the spring The sleeves are long, but they remind me of everything You taught me how to face the morning sun And keep on walking when the hard days come [Pre-Chorus] When I am afraid, when the road is steep I hear the promises you asked me to keep [Chorus] Your spirit lives in me A steady flame I cannot see It moves through every breath I take It gives me strength when my hands shake Though time has carried you away Your love still finds me every day I stand, I breathe, I believe Your spirit lives in me [Bridge] I will carry kindness into every room Make a little more space for someone else's wounds And when I lift my eyes to all I cannot know I'll feel your hand in mine, reminding me to go [Final Chorus] Your spirit lives in me Brighter than I ever dreamed It moves through every breath I take It gives me strength when my hands shake Though time has carried you away Your love still finds me every day I stand, I breathe, I believe Your spirit lives in me [Outro] In every step, in everything I do A part of me keeps reaching back to you Your spirit lives in me
