Lyrics

I was a farm kid climbing trees
Mud on my knees and dust in my sleeves
Then I was the girl with a spark and a grin
Too proud to fold, too wild to fit in
I wore my sins like a second skin
Ran toward the noise and called it living
I've been so many names
I've carried so much weight
I've been the fire, the rain
The one who stayed too late
Now I'm learning how to rest
How to choose what I let in
I've been everything they said
And still I'm here within
I've been the bride in borrowed lace
The mom with love all over my face
I've been the hand that packed the lunch
The quiet one who held it up
Kids and work and a house to keep
Too many nights with too little sleep
I smiled through the ache, pushed hard, stayed brave
While my own heart waited in the shade
I've been so many names
I've carried so much weight
I've been the fire, the rain
The one who stayed too late
Now I'm learning how to rest
How to choose what I let in
I've been everything they said
And still I'm here within
I've been the scandal, the slammed-door fight
The one who left to save her life
I've been a single mom in the dark
Counting coins and keeping heart
I've worked hard jobs with cracked-up hands
Helped other souls learn where they stand
I buried my parents, grieved them slow
Watched old roots tremble and let go
And now my body asks for mercy
My spirit says"Come sit with me"
I am not lazy, I am worn
A field that's weathered every storm
I don't need to prove I'm strong
I've been strong my whole life long
I've been so many names
I've carried so much weight
I've been the fire, the rain
The one who stayed too late
Now I'm learning how to rest
How to choose what I let in
I've been everything they said
And still I'm here within
I am tired, yes, but wise
I have lived beneath these skies
And for once, I will be mine.
