Verse 1 The road didn’t ask if I was ready It just rolled beneath my feet One day I was standing steady Next day I was chasing sleep I’ve carried boxes full of worry I’ve worn holes in my favorite shoes Spent some nights praying for tomorrow While yesterday sang the blues Chorus Life don’t come with easy answers It don’t follow careful plans Sometimes you’re the broken branch Sometimes you’re the helping hand You bend, you break, you learn, you heal You lose things you can’t get back But somehow through the smoke and dust You find another path Verse 2 I’ve watched good people fight hard battles That nobody else could see Smiling faces in the daylight Holding storms underneath I’ve stood in rooms that felt too quiet I’ve said goodbye before I should And learned that loving something deeply Means missing it for good Chorus Life don’t come with easy answers It don’t follow careful plans Sometimes you’re the broken branch Sometimes you’re the helping hand You bend, you break, you learn, you heal You lose things you can’t get back But somehow through the smoke and dust You find another path Bridge Maybe courage isn’t fearless Maybe strength is showing up When your heart feels tired and empty And you’ve almost had enough Maybe hope’s a little candle In a window late at night Not enough to flood the darkness But enough to find the light Final Chorus Life don’t come with easy answers It don’t follow careful plans But every scar becomes a story Written in these weathered hands You bend, you break, you learn, you heal You lose things you can’t get back And somehow through the smoke and dust You find another path Outro The road didn’t ask if I was ready But it taught me how to stand And every mile I never wanted Made me who I am
