[Verse 1] White feathers gather dust beside your knees Cold earth remembers every place you fell Your hair is hiding half the damage But your hands still know themselves [Pre-Chorus] No one came with a ladder No door opened in the wall You learned the shape of silence You learned you could outlast it all [Chorus] Stand up, little heaven Let the ground release your name Those wings were never broken They were waiting through the shame Stand up, little heaven Let the dark look up and see You are more than what was taken You are still becoming free [Verse 2] A torn ribbon clings to one pale feather Rain has darkened every silver thread You count the bruises like old addresses Then leave them where they led [Pre-Chorus] There is no perfect rescue There is no hand above But something in your breathing Still sounds a lot like love [Chorus] Stand up, little heaven Let the ground release your name Those wings were never broken They were waiting through the shame Stand up, little heaven Let the dark look up and see You are more than what was taken You are still becoming free [Bridge] If you cannot cross the distance Take one inch, then take one more The sky is not a doorway It is what your heart is for [Final Chorus] Stand up, little heaven Let the ground release your name Those wings were never broken They were waiting through the pain Stand up, little heaven Turn your face toward what will be You are more than what was taken You are still becoming free [Outro] White feathers lift behind you The earth lets go quietly
