[Verse 1] I used to want it fast Like a door with no lock But growth has its own hands And they never rush the clock I learned to water small things To show up in the rain To keep my name on the list Even when I got no gain One brick at a time One breath at a time I built a better morning Out of the same hard climb [Pre-Chorus] Not every seed breaks open When you want it to Some roots go deep in silence Before they rise for you So I stayed with the work Stayed with the dark, stayed true If the season looked empty I knew what seasons do [Chorus] Keep going quietly Keep going quietly The right time comes For the ones who stay steady Keep going quietly Keep going quietly Small steps count When your heart stays ready [Verse 2] There were days I was tired And days I was all doubt But discipline is love When nobody's clapping out loud I cut out the noise I kept my circle tight I chose the early start Over the easier night I said yes to the reps To the stretch, to the grind To the slow little proof That was changing my mind [Pre-Chorus] Not every seed breaks open When you want it to Some roots go deep in silence Before they rise for you So I stayed with the work Stayed with the dark, stayed true If the season looked empty I knew what seasons do [Chorus] Keep going quietly Keep going quietly The right time comes For the ones who stay steady Keep going quietly Keep going quietly Small steps count When your heart stays ready [Bridge] Look at me now Not because I hurried Because I held the line When I felt buried Because I learned The deepest change Moves like a river Carving the stone away So if today is heavy And tomorrow feels far Keep your hand on the wheel Keep your eye on the star [Chorus] Keep going quietly Keep going quietly The right time comes For the ones who stay steady Keep going quietly Keep going quietly Small steps count When your heart stays ready [Outro] You do not need to bloom In front of the crowd Just keep becoming Just keep coming around Keep going quietly Keep going quietly
