Beauty in the Breaking

[Verse 1] The kettle shakes against the stove Rain writes rivers down the glass You fold the bills beside the bread And wonder how the week will pass [Pre-Chorus] But there’s a sparrow on the fence Washing its wings in silver rain Small things keep their promises When everything else feels changed [Chorus] Look, there’s beauty in the breaking In the hands that help us stand In the little light we’re making With whatever we still have Every scar can catch the morning Every loss can leave a door We don’t need an easy story To find something worth hoping for [Verse 2] The hallway holds your mother’s coat The blue one faded at the sleeve You wear it when the nights run cold And feel the shape of what you grieve [Pre-Chorus] Then your neighbor leaves some oranges On the step beside your shoes No grand answer, just a kindness With a sweetness you can use [Chorus] Look, there’s beauty in the breaking In the hands that help us stand In the little light we’re making With whatever we still have Every scar can catch the morning Every loss can leave a door We don’t need an easy story To find something worth hoping for [Bridge] Some days the best we do is breathe Some days we carry someone through The heart is not a flawless thing It’s a house that lets the weather move [Final Chorus] Look, there’s beauty in the breaking In the hands that help us stand In the little light we’re making With whatever we still have Every scar can catch the morning Every loss can leave a door We don’t need an easy story To find something worth hoping for To find something worth hoping for [Outro] The kettle hums, the rain moves on A sparrow lifts into the dawn
