[Intro]
Dust on the dashboard, lights on the chrome,
Chasing the headlines that whisper I'm grown.
But in the quiet, a softer decree,
A steadier breath calling me to be free.
[Verse 1]
Gold tastes sweet, yet it slips through my hands,
I stack bright hours like castles of sand.
Then I hear a harbor in a whisper of grace,
A beacon that steadies my trembling pace.
[Pre-Chorus]
I could buy the skies, I could own the night,
But I lay down my proofs at the feet of the light.
[Chorus]
I won’t trade the calm for the roar of the crowd,
I’m anchored in something that won’t let me down.
If the world fades away and all else is new,
My faith remains, steady and true.
[Verse 2]
Trends rise and fall like tides on the shore,
Coupons and titles we chase for more.
Yet a quiet confidence rises within,
Not measured by riches, but where I’ve been.
[Pre-Chorus]
I could chase the gleam, I could chase the shine,
But your mercy invites me to rest for a time.
[Chorus]
I won’t trade the calm for the roar of the crowd,
I’m anchored in something that won’t let me down.
If the world fades away and all else is new,
My faith remains, steady and true.
[Bridge]
Let the winds howl over silver and stone,
I’ve got a shelter that sorrow can’t own.
[Chorus]
I won’t trade the calm for the roar of the crowd,
I’m anchored in something that won’t let me down.
If the world fades away and all else is new,
My faith remains, steady and true.
[Outro]
Steady and true, steady and true,
In you I find the peace that carries me through.
