Brave Enough to Cry

[Intro] Moonlight threads through the blinds, a quiet storm inside Breath in with a tremor, hold back the flood tonight [Verse 1] Sitting with the weight, eyes like a closed safe door Tremors in the chest but I pretend I’m more Footsteps soft as secrets, I’m counting to stay sane Mask on a brave face while the storm writes my name in rain [Pre-Chorus] But I hear a whisper saying, you’re not alone in this pain If you let the quiet fall, you’ll rise again from the rain [Chorus] I’m strong enough to carry the ache, even when I cry I’m tall as the mountains, even as the teardrops fly I bend, I breathe, I fight the night in my own way Holding on to the dawn until it breaks the gray [Verse 2] Cracks in the mirror reflect who I’m becoming Every tear a letter to the future I’m naming Even the silence learns my stubborn, patient grace I’m not afraid to tremble when the heart needs a new pace [Pre-Chorus] There’s a chorus hiding in the ache, a fire under the rain If I keep moving forward, I’ll find my courage again [Chorus] I’m strong enough to carry the ache, even when I cry I’m tall as the mountains, even as the teardrops fly I bend, I breathe, I fight the night in my own way Holding on to the dawn until it breaks the gray [Bridge] Let the tears fall, let the armor fade What remains is a heart that won’t be swayed [Chorus] I’m strong enough to carry the ache, even when I cry I’m tall as the mountains, even as the teardrops fly I bend, I breathe, I fight the night in my own way Holding on to the dawn until it breaks the gray [Outro] When morning comes, I’ll stand a little taller, brave and bright A quiet victory echoing in the soft, released light
