[Intro] [Verse 1] The morning light finds a new line on my face A map of laughter in a familiar place This old sweater, worn at the elbow and sleeve Holds the quiet magic of simply believing The coffee tastes the same in my favorite chipped mug But the hands that hold it have learned how to hug The silence more gently, to listen to its song And to understand that some chapters take long [Chorus] And I'm thankful for the cracks in the ceiling That let the starlight start its healing For the scars that turned to stories with time For the rhythm in this ordinary rhyme For the love that didn't shout, but simply stayed For the colors in the shadows that the memories made This isn't a perfect picture in a polished frame It's the beautiful, messy, grateful sound of my name [Verse 2] I found a box of tickets, faded and thin To places I went, and places I've been Some led to heartache, some led to the sea But they all led eventually back to me The friends who are family, the family who choose The bruises that taught me which battles to lose The quiet mornings, the unplanned, lazy days The unexpected kindness in a thousand different ways [Chorus 2] And I'm thankful for the cracks in the ceiling That let the starlight start its healing For the scars that turned to stories with time For the rhythm in this ordinary rhyme For the love that didn't shout, but simply stayed For the colors in the shadows that the memories made This isn't a perfect picture in a polished frame It's the beautiful, messy, grateful sound of my name [Bridge] Time isn't a thief, I think I understand It's a gentle gardener of this heart and land It prunes the worry, waters the seed of grace And leaves its light on every single face That mattered. [Final Chorus] So I'm thankful for the cracks in the ceiling That let the starlight start its healing For the scars that turned to stories with time For the rhythm in this ordinary rhyme For the love that didn't shout, but simply stayed For the colors in the shadows that the memories made This isn't a perfect picture... it's so much more It's the beautiful, messy, grateful heart I'm learning to adore.
