Lyrics

People try their best, but cracks will show
Sometimes they let you bleed
Sometimes they walk away
Convincing themselves
It’s what they need
They thought they chose the safer road
They see the wreck behind
And even when their choices cut
They prayed that you would read their mind
We stand strong, though the weight
Can bend our backs again
Tonight, every heart will break and shake
Yet still we guard that fading light
We carry truths we rarely speak
Afraid they wouldn’t make it through
And even when our courage slips
We fight our way back into view

We are human, trying to stand tall
We rise, we fracture, but still we try again
Don’t shut your heart because we fall
We all lose balance long before we mend
So keep your truth, but leave a door
Open wide for someone limping their way home
We’re only human in the end
And every broken step can drag us closer to the truth

Friends may lose their grip, even when they care
They might not feel your pain
Some will chase the simpler path
And you’re left standing in the rain
You hold firm and keep your ground
While others bend to quiet the noise
But weakness crawls in all of us
And storms don’t listen to our voice
So keep an open heart for those
Who stumble into your world by chance
A stranger may become a truth you missed
When locked inside your stance

We are human, trying to stand tall
We rise, we fracture, but still we try again
Don’t shut your heart because we fall
We all lose balance long before we mend
So keep your truth, but leave a door
Open wide for someone
Limping their way home
We’re only human in the end
And every broken step can drag us
Closer to the truth

Let the light crawl back again
Even when the night feels sharp and cold
Every heart will find its path
Circling back to stories left untold
And in the quiet after storms
We’re only trying
To stand tall
Stand tall
