This Life Is Mine (Alternate Version)

[Verse 1]
I kept a map of roads I never took
A borrowed coat, a room I never knew
The names I might have answered to
Still drift like pages in a book

[Pre-Chorus]
But morning finds me here
With both feet on the floor
A cup beside the window
And a life worth reaching for

[Chorus]
All those lives I didn’t live
Can rest like boats beyond the bay
I grieve the doors I didn’t choose
Then turn toward the one that stayed
I am not less for what I missed
I’m here, and here is mine
The heart I have, the hands I give
Are enough to make this life shine

[Verse 2]
I could have crossed a colder sea
Or learned a different kind of home
But every turn that brought me here
Made room for someone not alone

[Bridge]
Let every almost have its place
Let every maybe drift away
I’ll keep the good I grew into
And greet the day I get to make

[Final Chorus]
All those lives I didn’t live
Can rest like boats beyond the bay
I bless the doors I didn’t choose
And love the one that stayed
I am not less for what I missed
I’m here, and here is mine
The heart I have, the hands I give
Are enough to make this life shine

[Outro]
This life is mine
This life is mine
