Still Becoming - Ripley

**Still Becoming** [Intro] [soft piano] [distant strings] [faint heartbeat pulse] [Verse 1] There are days that begin Without giving you time There are roads Much longer than expected You keep smiling For everyone around you While your life Keeps slipping through your hands [Pre-Chorus] Every step Feels a little heavier Every night Seems to last a little longer Even so Your heart keeps beating onward Though you cannot See the dawn [Chorus] Hold on When the river rises Hold on When the fire comes You will never walk Alone Every scar Becomes another sunrise Every step Shapes who you will become Hold on You are still becoming [Verse 2] The rain carves Slowly through the mountains Stone learns strength Across the passing years Every wound You tried so hard to carry Left a space Where hope could start to grow [Pre-Chorus] When your faith Is barely just an ember When your voice Can no longer speak Love remains Long before you ever find All the strength You thought you would need [Bridge] [almost spoken] When you walk across the waters You will never walk alone When you make it through the fire You will never be on your own The flames may change you But they can never overcome you You will be held Even here [Final Chorus] Hold on When the river rises Hold on When the fire comes You will never walk Alone Every scar Becomes another sunrise Every step Shapes who you will become Hold on You are still becoming You are still becoming [Outro] [soft piano] One more sunrise One more road You are still becoming All this time [fade] [end]
