Soft Horizon

There was a hush between the blue and gold A tender hour the daylight didn’t know I held a thousand sparks inside my hands But none of them were brave enough to glow I wore a smile like everybody does A little calm, a little almost gone But somewhere underneath the quiet skin A softer kind of strength was coming on I don’t need all the answers I don’t need perfect lines I just need one small reason To trust this heart of mine Soft horizon Calling me out of the shadow slowly Something opening where the fear used to be I can feel it, I can feel it Soft horizon I was a whisper, now I’m turning into motion One tiny light can change the shape of the sea I believe it, I believe it There’s a world that waits for me I used to hide behind the safest words The ones that never asked to be believed But every silence has a breaking point And every dream can learn to breathe I’ve seen the weight of almost giving up The kind of night that won’t let go of you But every crack I carried in my chest Was letting through a different kind of view So if my voice is shaking Let it be shaking free The sky was never asking For anything but me Soft horizon Calling me out of the shadow slowly Something opening where the fear used to be I can feel it, I can feel it Soft horizon I was a whisper, now I’m turning into motion One tiny light can change the shape of the sea I believe it, I believe it There’s a world that waits for me And if I fall behind the moment If I lose the way I knew I will follow that faint color At the edge of something new Not every heart arrives like thunder Not every flame is born to roar Some of us become the morning By learning what we’re trembling for Oh, I am not too late No, I am not too small The farthest line of heaven Was here inside me all along Soft horizon Lifting me out of the silence slowly Turning the emptiness into a melody Now I hear it, now I hear it Soft horizon I was a whisper, now I’m rising with the daylight No looking back at who I thought I should be I can see it, I can see it Something brighter waking in me Soft horizon Soft horizon I can feel it, I can feel it There’s a world that waits for me Soft horizon Like a promise opening wide before me One tender color reaching through the gray And I’m moving, yes, I’m moving Soft horizon I am the spark that finally found the air to burn in I am the song that almost slipped away Now I’m shining, now I’m shining Into my own new day
