I Am Here

[Verse 1]
I took the road that had a name
And watched the other doors stay closed
Somewhere a version of me stayed
With every life I almost chose

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to count the might-have-beens
Like coins I couldn't spend

[Chorus]
All those lives I never lived
Still ride quietly beside me
But this breath, this hand, this day
Is the one that gets to find me
I can grieve what I let go
And love the life that's here
I am not the roads I missed
I am standing, I am here

[Verse 2]
The painter, sailor, farther son
The words I swallowed, trains I missed
I bless the selves I couldn't be
Then turn toward what my hands can hold

[Bridge]
No door can open every way
No heart can keep each almost-home

[Final Chorus]
All those lives I never lived
Still ride quietly beside me
But this breath, this hand, this day
Is the one that gets to find me
I can grieve what I let go
And love the life that's here
I am not the roads I missed
I am standing, I am here
[Outro]
I am here
