[Verse 1] The weather took the afternoon The train ran late again I spent an hour cursing clouds For things I couldn’t bend Then I came home, cleared the table Found my notebook underneath One small promise I could keep Was waiting there for me [Pre-Chorus] I can’t command the turning tide Or make the whole world move But there are handles in my reach And work that I can choose [Chorus] I’ll turn the levers I can reach A little room, a little seed One honest step, then one more step And build a life that feels like me The wind can change, the road can bend I won’t spend all my strength on blame I’ll turn the levers I can reach And make a way, and make a way [Verse 2] I can’t decide who sees my worth Or when the doors swing wide But I can learn, I can ask for help I can show up on my side Put the phone down, call my sister Plant the basil by the sink Some days hope is just a choice Made before you have time to think [Pre-Chorus] I can’t command the turning tide Or make the whole world move But there are handles in my reach And work that I can choose [Chorus] I’ll turn the levers I can reach A little room, a little seed One honest step, then one more step And build a life that feels like me The wind can change, the road can bend I won’t spend all my strength on blame I’ll turn the levers I can reach And make a way, and make a way [Bridge] Not every door will open Not every plan will stay But I can meet the morning With something mine to shape A hand upon the handle A breath, a starting line The future isn’t all decided There’s still a part that’s mine [Final Chorus] I’ll turn the levers I can reach A little room, a little seed One honest step, then one more step And build a life that feels like me The wind can change, the road can bend I won’t spend all my strength on blame I’ll turn the levers I can reach And make a way, and make a way [Outro] One small choice, one more day I can make a way
