Quiet Growth

[Intro] A quiet breath, I start again I count the steps I can’t pretend [Verse 1] Today I’m smaller than the pride I wore yesterday I tuck it into my pocket, let it fade away I whisper to the mirror, be kind, be true Tiny steady choices whisper back: me too [Pre-Chorus] If doubt will knock, I’ll open the door slow One honest word at a time, I choose to grow [Chorus] I’m trying to be kinder than I was yesterday Not perfect, just trying to change in quiet ways If I stumble, I’ll breathe and stay the course Little acts of gravity toward a brighter force [Verse 2] The list is simple: listen, pause, forgive, and learn To feel the weight of mistakes, then let the mercy return I’m learning not to shout what I wish I could be The true reform lives in the soft, unseen decree [Pre-Chorus] Doubt pops up like weather, I weather it slow I keep my compass honest, let courage grow [Chorus] I’m trying to be kinder than I was yesterday Not perfect, just trying to change in quiet ways If I stumble, I’ll breathe and stay the course Little acts of gravity toward a brighter force [Bridge] Some days the rival is my own loud mind I lock the door on pride, I’m gentle with the grind [Chorus] I’m trying to be kinder than I was yesterday Not perfect, just trying to change in quiet ways If I stumble, I’ll breathe and stay the course Little acts of gravity toward a brighter force [Outro] Tomorrow waits with the same humble gaze I’ll keep beginning with a better phrase
