### Verse 1 Left my pride in a puddle by the driveway gate Six months of overtime just a little too late. They chained up the entrance to the lumber yard Man, staying honest shouldn't be this hard. But if I hadn’t walked out onto that street With nothing but holes in the soles of the shoes on my feet I’d have never found that hole-in-the-wall Where the man in the mirror learned to stand up tall. ### Chorus There’s a silver lining in a sky turned gray A little bit of mercy at the end of the day. It ain't a trophy or a win for the books It’s the steady hand after the ground finally shook. **I may not have a cause to celebrate,** **Consequences may be some of the hardest I face,** But there’s a gold-leaf edge on a world that’s dark A tiny little flicker, a brand-new spark. ### Verse 2 Now I’m trading in whiskey for a little more prayer Finding out that "broke" is just a chance to repair. I lost the house and the keys to the truck But I found out that "blessed" don’t look nothing like luck. The scars on my knuckles, they tell a new tale Of a heart that grew stronger the moment it failed If the dam hadn’t broken and flooded the town I’d still be the king of a ship going down. ### Bridge It’s the "No" you didn’t want that leads to the "Yes" It’s the beauty that rises from the middle of the mess. You gotta lose your way to find out where you stand Let the rain wash the dust off the master plan. ### Chorus There’s a silver lining in a sky turned gray A little bit of mercy at the end of the day. It ain't a trophy or a win for the books It’s the steady hand after the ground finally shook. **I may not have a cause to celebrate,** **Consequences may be some of the hardest I face,** But there’s a gold-leaf edge on a world that’s dark A tiny little flicker, a brand-new spark. ### Outro Yeah, it’s a hard-earned lesson in a bitter cup But you can’t see the stars until you’re looking up. Looking up... A silver lining is just a brand-new spark. In the middle of the dark.
