[00:01.489]I used to think that tears would wash me out
[00:06.733]So I smiled and swallowed every doubt
[00:11.489]I kept a steady grin upon my face
[00:16.422]And swore the world would never see the trace
[00:20.778]But when the floor gave out beneath my feet
[00:25.844]I let the trembling write a new heartbeat
[00:30.822]I learned the weight of softness is enough
[00:35.778]It takes more nerve to bend than to be rough
[00:40.667]The smallest root can crack the stone
[00:45.689]The river bends and still can flow
[00:50.733]I don't need armor to be known
[00:55.756]I let my hidden softness show
[01:00.600]The smallest root can crack the stone
[01:05.622]The river bends and still can flow
[01:10.667]I'm not ashamed of what I've always known
[01:15.622]I feel a gentler strength grow
[01:20.589]But when the floor gave out beneath my feet
[01:25.633]I let the trembling write a new heartbeat
[01:30.611]I learned the weight of softness is enough
[01:35.544]It takes more nerve to bend than to be rough
[01:40.478]The smallest root can crack the stone
[01:45.767]The river bends and still can flow
[01:50.478]I don't need armor to be known
[01:55.500]I let my hidden softness show
[02:00.322]The smallest root can crack the stone
[02:05.344]The river bends and still can flow
[02:10.300]I'm not ashamed of what I've always known
[02:15.278]I feel a gentler strength grow
