One Wild Life

[Verse 1]
I woke with a pulse in a borrowed room
Warm cup cooling beside the spoon
Every small ache has a shape and name
Every bright hour arrives untamed

I have held joy like a paper flame
Watched it bend but it stayed the same
I have lost what I thought I could keep
Found new roads in the cut running deep

[Pre-Chorus]
There is thunder under tenderness
A thousand hues in the tenderness
If the whole world is temporary
Let me meet it awake and ready

[Chorus]
What a privilege, this feeling
To be broken, to be healing
To be furious, to forgive
To have one wild life and live
Every sorrow, every wonder
Every quiet pull of hunger
I will take the full design
Your heart in mine, this life in time

[Verse 2]
I have laughed till the walls leaned back
Cried in the car on an empty track
Held someone's hand at the hospital door
Learned what a heartbeat is for

There are days I am less than brave
Days I build and days I cave
Still the morning places in my hands
More than I ever could understand

[Pre-Chorus]
There is thunder under tenderness
A thousand hues in the tenderness
If the whole world is temporary
Let me meet it awake and ready

[Chorus]
What a privilege, this feeling
To be broken, to be healing
To be furious, to forgive
To have one wild life and live
Every sorrow, every wonder
Every quiet pull of hunger
I will take the full design
Your heart in mine, this life in time

[Bridge]
Let the grief come dressed in blue
Let the fever teach me too
Let desire leave its mark
Let the fear point through the dark
I don't need a painless story
I don't need a borrowed glory
Give me all the weight and grace
Every tear and every face

[Final Chorus]
What a privilege, this feeling
To be breaking, to be healing
To be furious, to forgive
To have one wild life and live
Every sorrow, every wonder
Every scar that proves I'm under
All the colors, line by line
Your heart in mine, this life in time

[Outro]
If I am here, then let me feel
The wound, the wonder, what is real
If I am here, then let me give
This one wild life a reason to live
