(Verse 1) You don’t say a word when the morning hits, Just lace your boots, get gone like this. Coffee’s cold, but your hands are warm, Carrying weight before the sun is born. You wear that silence like a shield of pride, Keep it all buried way down inside. They don’t hear you, they don’t always know, But I see the love in the things you don’t show. (Pre-Chorus) It’s in the way you fix what’s broke, In every promise you never spoke, You don’t need praise to stand tall— But that don’t mean you don’t feel it at all. (INSTRUMENTAL) (Chorus) You don’t ask for a spotlight, don’t need a stage, Just give your life one quiet page at a time each day. No applause when you walk through the door, Just the weight of the world you been carrying more. But I see every line in your tired eyes, Every dream you set down just to lift us high. You don’t hear it enough, but I hope you know— I see it anyway, even if it don’t get told. (Verse 2) You hold it together when the cracks show through, Take the hits like it’s nothing new. Laugh it off, say you’re doing fine, But I read between every line. You gave up pieces they’ll never see, Turned your wants into “what we need.” And though the world may pass it by, I trace your love in the sacrifice. (Pre-Chorus) It’s in the calluses on your hands, In every “I’ll take care of it” plan, You don’t need thanks to give your all— But that don’t mean you don’t feel it at all. (Chorus) You don’t ask for a spotlight, don’t need a stage, Just give your life one quiet page at a time each day. No applause when you walk through the door, Just the weight of the world you been carrying more. But I see every line in your tired eyes, Every dream you set down just to lift us high. You don’t hear it enough, but I hope you know— I see it anyway, even if it don’t get told. (Bridge) And maybe I don’t say it like I should, Get lost in the chaos, forget what’s good… But every little thing you do for us, Is written deep in my heart in trust. You’re the quiet strength we lean upon, The steady beat when the rhythm’s gone— And I swear right here, I won’t let it fade, All the love in the choices you’ve made. (Final Chorus) You don’t ask for a spotlight, don’t need a name, But you deserve every ounce of praise the world could claim. So tonight when you walk through that door, I’ll be the voice you’ve been missing before. I’ll say every word you never got, Every “thank you” they somehow forgot. You don’t have to wonder, you don’t have to guess— I see it all… and I love you for it, yes. (Outro) You were never unseen… Just waiting on me to say what I mean. (Instrumental end)
