A robin starts up in the maple, Like it’s been waiting at the door. [Chorus] The morning holds its breath for us, A little mercy left untouched. I can’t explain it, but I trust— The morning holds its breath for us. [Verse 2] The baby cries and breaks the quiet, Small enough to split the room. You lift him up against your shoulder, And the whole world settles into you. [Chorus] The morning holds its breath for us, A little mercy left untouched. It’s not much, but it’s enough— The morning holds its breath for us. [Bridge] The days keep moving like they should, Too fast to hold, even when they’re good. [Final Chorus] The morning holds its breath for us, A little mercy left untouched. I’m scared as hell, but still I trust— The morning holds its breath for us.
