Step 25: Sunlight Through the Window

[Verse 1] Sunlight through the window Your laugh singing down the hall A pile of veg. on the kitchen table I just breathe Take it all in. I used to love like a lookout Scanning for storm and fire Now I’m learning to soften Let this peace be my choir [Chorus] I’m growing roots in the quiet Let my heartbeat hum along I’m gonna live in this home we have Not the fear that it’ll be gone I’m finding grace in the small things Every petal Every stone I’m growing roots in the quiet Into this happy home [Verse 2] Old ache in my ribcage Ghost of a fevered year Shallow breath Racing hindsight Telling tales of fear But there’s a river behind my sternum Soft and slow and wide I lay a hand on my centre Let the current reside [Chorus] I’m growing roots in the quiet Let my heartbeat hum along I’m gonna live in this home we have Not the fear that it’ll be gone I’m finding grace in the small things Every petal Every stone I’m growing roots in the quiet Into this happy home [Bridge] Garden soil under my fingernails (oh oh) Camera pressed to my cheek Colours dancing like a procession Every frame helps me speak Every leaf is a helping hand Every rose A stepping stone I’m learning the shape of my spirit In the places I’ve always known [Chorus] I’m growing roots in the quiet Let my heartbeat hum along I’m gonna live in this home we have Not the fear that it’ll be gone I’m finding grace in the small things Every petal Every stone I’m growing roots in the quiet Into this happy home Into our beautiful happy home Our happy home. To you my happy home.
