[Verse 1] The forecast says rain; I can't move the clouds But I can pull my coat from the back of the house The train runs late; I can choose where I stand I can make one small move with the time in my hands [Pre-Chorus] I spent too long naming the walls in my way Now I’m looking for hinges, and what I can change [Chorus] I’ve got a hand on the wheel A foot on the ground I can’t choose every turn But I can choose my way out One little lever, one honest start I’m building a life that feels like my heart I’ve got a hand on the wheel And hope in my hands [Verse 2] The old house needs work; the whole street feels worn I can fix one loose step, let the morning come on I can’t make you stay, can’t rewrite what you said But I can set the table and make plans for my day [Pre-Chorus] I spent too long cursing the wind and the rain Now I’m learning which seeds I can plant all the same [Chorus] I’ve got a hand on the wheel A foot on the ground I can’t choose every turn But I can choose my way out One little lever, one honest start I’m building a life that feels like my heart I’ve got a hand on the wheel And hope in my hands [Bridge] Not every answer comes clean or on cue Not every door opens just because I want it to Still, I can ask, I can learn, I can try I can lay one more brick beneath a wider sky [Final Chorus] I’ve got a hand on the wheel A foot on the ground I can’t choose every turn But I can choose my way out One little lever, one honest start I’m building a life that feels like my heart I’ve got a hand on the wheel And hope in my hands Hope in my hands I’m building a life that feels like my heart
