11..Story — Held Lightly
Verse 1
It comes again, the same old way
A thought that says it’s here to stay
A meaning placed on what I see
A quiet claim of “this is me”
But something in the way it lands
No longer closes in my hands
It rises up, then passes through
Without becoming something true
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need to push away
I don’t need to make it stay
Chorus (easy, flowing)
Held lightly, let it move
Nothing here I need to prove
Let it form, let it fade
Just another shape I made
Held lightly, let it be
Not the whole of what I see
Just a moment passing through
Not the end, not something true
Verse 2
Sometimes it helps me find my way
To name the things I need to say
To cross the road, to read a face
To meet the moment in its place
And sometimes it’s an echo old
A story that I’ve always told
But now it doesn’t pull me in
It doesn’t need to define within
Pre-Chorus
No need to fight, no need to win
It doesn’t have to disappear
Chorus (fuller)
Held lightly, let it move
Nothing here I need to prove
Let it form, let it fade
Just another shape I made
Bridge (soft)
It may return… it may remain…
But it won’t carry the same weight again…
Final Chorus (open)
Held lightly, let it flow
Nothing here I need to know
Just the moment as it is
Nothing lost and nothing missed
Outro (fade)
Held lightly… held lightly…
