Woke up with a heavy thought on my chest Told myself, you've done your best Put my feet on the floor, took a breath so deep Felt a little promise my heart could keep Not every day is easy Not every sky is blue But something inside me whispered You can choose I choose love today For myself, for this life For the messy, the broken The beautiful strife I choose love today For the tears I've cried For the versions of me that gave up and tried It doesn't mean the pain isn't real It just means my heart is learning to heal I choose love today And that's enough to light my way I forgave the mirror for the years I frowned I thanked my legs for still walking on this ground I called a friend and said nothing much Just sat in silence and felt the touch Happiness isn't a finish line to chase It's a gentle fire You feed with grace I choose love today For myself, for this life For the messy, the broken The beautiful strife I choose love today For the tears I've cried For the versions of me that gave up and tried It doesn't mean the pain isn't real It just means my heart is learning to heal I choose love today And that's enough to light my way Some days I'll laugh Some days I'll rest Some days I'll fail a little test But loving my life doesn't mean it's perfect It means my broken heart is still worth it I choose love today Tomorrow we'll see But right now love is holding me Put on your favorite shoes The ones that make you jump Leave the worries in a drawer Give your heart a bump The world is wide and weird and wonderful and strange But every single morning gives you another page You don't have to climb a mountain You don't have to run a race Just show up with an open heart And a tiny bit of faith The sun will meet you there wherever you are Behind the clouds, behind the dark Behind the broken scars It's not about the perfect day It's about the light you carry Even when you're tired Even when you're weary The sun will meet you there In the smallest, sweetest way Just keep walking, keep breathing You'll be okay I saw a flower growing through a crack in the street No one watered it, no one sang to it Still sweet And I thought, that's me, that's you That's all of us somehow Finding life in places No one told us would work out Healing doesn't need a diploma Or a shiny trophy wall Sometimes it's just a tiny green leaf standing tall The sun will meet you there wherever you are Behind the clouds, behind the dark Behind the broken scars It's not about the perfect day It's about the light you carry Even when you're tired Even when you're weary The sun will meet you there In the smallest, sweetest way Just keep walking, keep breathing You'll be okay So dance in your kitchen, sing in the rain Laugh at your own silly jokes again Life is short and strange and gloriously weird You survived every single storm that ever appeared The sun will meet you there Just keep going, gentle soul The sun is waiting They told me build a wall around your chest Don't let the world see your tenderness But I tried that once and felt so small Turns out softness is the strongest of all A hard heart breaks, a cold heart aches But a soft heart knows exactly what it takes Soft heart, happy life, not because nothing hurts But because you learn to wear your worth Like a flower bending in the rain You feel the storm but you still remain Gentle, kind and beautifully true A soft heart knows what to hold and what to let go through It doesn't mean you never cry It means you choose love and that's why you fly I forgave the one who didn't say goodbye I forgave myself for every sleepless night I stopped pretending I didn't care And found that kindness was already there A soft heart doesn't mean weak or naive It means you still believe, you still breathe, you still give Soft heart, happy life, not because nothing hurts But because you learn to wear your worth Like a flower bending in the rain You feel the storm but you still remain Gentle, kind and beautifully true A soft heart knows what to hold and what to let go through It doesn't mean you never cry It means you choose love and that's why you fly So let your heart be soft, let it break a little Let it feel the world, every note, every riddle Because a heart that's open even with its scars Is the heart that can reach the happiest stars Soft heart, happy life Not perfect, not sharp, not closed like a knife Just open, just tender, just willing to try Soft heart, happy life That's you and I
