[Intro] Yeah, you carry what you cannot change No use staring at the wreckage for days [Verse 1] Monday morning, coffee gone cold Welding sparks on a bent-up gate I’ve been dragging that news around Like a chain in the bed of my truck all day Daddy said, “Boy, you can’t un-ring that bell You can’t patch that crack in the yard” So I stood there looking at my hands And learning where the hard things are [Pre-Chorus] Some things break and don’t come back Some words land and leave a mark But I’m still breathing, still standing here With a steering wheel, and a spark [Chorus] Carry what you cannot change Walk through the fire, walk through the rain You can’t undo the hurt you’ve made But you can choose what you do today [Verse 2] She left a dent in the front porch rail She left a dent in the front porch rail I left silence hanging in the hall We both said things we can’t take back Now the frame still leans where it used to fall There’s a busted screen and a porch light buzz And a scar in the side of my hand I can’t rewrite every last mistake But I can be a better man [Pre-Chorus] Some roads end where you swore they’d bend Some nights don’t give you sleep But the dawn comes up like a stubborn friend Saying, “Son, you’re still in it deep” [Guitar dialog] [Chorus] Carry what you cannot change Walk through the fire, walk through the rain You can’t undo the hurt you’ve made But you can choose what you do today [Bridge] I don’t need a saint, just a steady hand A little grit and a shot at grace If the past comes knocking, I’ll answer the door But I won’t let it live in my place I’ll take the lesson, take the bruise Take the truth and take my stand Some things are broke past fixing But I can still fix me if I can [Final Chorus] Carry what you cannot change Walk through the fire, walk through the rain You can’t undo the hurt you’ve made But you can choose what you do today [Outro] Yeah, carry what you cannot change And let the rest go free [End]
