[Intro] Take your time. Breathe. You’re still growing. ⸻ [Verse 1] Roots don’t race They still reach deep The moon still changes While the world sleeps Tiny rivers Find the sea Slow and steady Still counts to me ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I don’t have to prove That I deserve to rest I don’t have to earn Being my best ⸻ [Chorus] Gentle is not lazy Gentle is not weak Sometimes going slower Is exactly what I need Gentle is not giving up Gentle is believing That little by little Life keeps unfolding ⸻ [Verse 2] Flowers bloom When they are ready Mountains stand Without hurrying Morning comes Without a race The whole world moves At its own pace ⸻ [Bridge – call and response] Voice: Take your time. Choir: Take your time. Voice: Catch your breath. Choir: Catch your breath. Voice: Still becoming. Choir: Still becoming. Voice: Still enough. Choir: Still enough. ⸻ [Final Chorus] Gentle is not lazy Gentle is not small Healing isn’t linear And that’s okay after all Gentle is not quitting Gentle is choosing care Sometimes the bravest thing Is knowing when to pause right there ⸻ [Outro] Take your time. The roots are growing. Even now.
