Bb F

Show me who I am and who I could be.

Initiate the heart within me

Eb Bb F

Until it opens properly.

Bb F

Slow down, start again from the beginning.

I can’t keep my head from spinning out of control,

Eb Bb F

Is this what being vulnerable feels like?

And I will try, try, try to breathe

Bb F

’Til it turns to muscle memory.

I'm only steady on my knees;

Bb F

one day I'll stand up on my own two feet.

I’ll run the risk

F Bb

Of being intimate with brokenness.

F Bb

Through this magnifying glass,

I see a thousand fingerprints

Eb Bb

On the surfaces of who I am.

F Gm Eb Bb F

Bb F

Show me where to find the silver lining

As the mercury keeps rising,

Eb Bb F

’Til the glass or my fever breaks.

Bb F

Show me how to struggle gracefully.

Let the scaffolding inside of me be strong enough

Eb Bb F

To hold this tired body up once more.

And I will try, try, try to breathe

Bb F

’Til it turns to muscle memory.

I feel the pressure in my blood

Bb F

Building up and liberating me.

So I will try, try, try to breathe

Bb F

’Til it turns to muscle memory.

I'm only steady on my knees,

Bb F

But one day, I'll stand on my own two feet.

I'll run the risk

F Bb

Of being intimate with brokenness.

F Bb

Through this magnifying glass,

I see a thousand fingerprints

That ran the risk

F Bb

Of being intimate with my brokenness.

F Bb

I was given a gift of hope

In a thousand fingerprints

Eb Bb

On the surface of who I am.

Bb F Gm Eb Bb F
