Lyrics

I've been a nightlight in the power outage
A long way home when the road peeped out
I've been a calm voice in a room full of damage
Holding my breath so nobody found out
I learned early how to carry the weight
Without making a sound when it pulls me down
Some folks drown looking for solid ground
I learned how to stand where I'm at
I don't need saving, I don't need a sign
I just learn how to stay when it's easier to run sometimes
I ain't the way, I ain't the wind
I ain't the fire burning
I'm the anchor when it all breaks loose
When the sky don't care when the night comes through
I don't pull away, I don't come under
I hold my ground, I'm the anchor
I say love, bold, under question
I see strong hands let go too soon
I've got truth turning the shelter
Of folks who didn't know what to do
I don't promise I won't feel it
I don't swear I won't be
But I know who I am when the storm comes back again
I don't raise my voice, I don't close my eyes
I can stay right here, let the moment pass me by
I ain't the way (ain't the way), I ain't the wind (ain't the wind)
I ain't the fire (ain't the fire) burning (burning)
I'm the anchor (I'm the anchor)
When it all breaks loose (it all breaks loose)
When the sky don't care (sky don't care)
When the night comes through
I don't pull away (pull away), I don't come under (come under)
I hold my ground, I'm the anchor
Let us take a walk, let it test my spine
I've been there before, I didn't break that time
Some things move, some things fall
Some things fall, through it all
I ain't the way (ain't the way), I ain't the wind (I ain't the wind)
I ain't the fire closing in
I'm the anchor (I'm the anchor)
Yeah, I stay true (I stay true)
When the world lets go (the world lets go), I don't have to
I don't pull away (I don't come all the way)
I go down right (I go down right)
I hold my ground, I'm the anchor
