Light to Hold
Caps in the air,
but my hands still shake Smiles in the crowd,
but my heart might break
Hallways fading like a photograph
Trying not to look too far ahead too fast Everybody says,
"These are the best years" But nobody talks about the fear Of
waking up and not knowing where to go
When the only life you knew
lets go
And I know
The dark feels deep tonight
But maybe every ending
Is the start of finding light
We’re not growing alone
Even when the road feels cold
Even when the future looks like shadows in the smoke
There’s a light waiting ahead
Past the fear inside our chest
And the minute we step forward,
we’ll begin to understand
We were never on our own
No, we’re not growing alone
Some will leave and some will stay Some dreams change along the
way And I still hear the laughter in these walls Like echoes
reminding me I gave my all
It’s hard to say goodbye to yesterday
To the versions of ourselves we can’t save But maybe growing up
means learning how To carry hope instead of doubt
And I know
The night can blur your sight
But stars were made for shining
In the middle of the night
We’re not growing alone
Even when the road feels cold
Even when tomorrow seems too heavy to hold
There’s a light waiting ahead Calling every fearful step
And the minute we keep moving,
we’ll begin to understand
We were never on our own
No, we’re not growing alone
One day we’ll look back at this town At the tears and
the countdown
And realize we were stronger than we knew
Every broken-hearted goodbye
Every sleepless graduation night
Was leading us to something new
We’re not growing alone
Though the world keeps pulling us on
And adulthood feels like standing in a storm before the dawn
But the sun is rising now Through the fear and through the
clouds
And the minute we believe it,
we’ll finally figure out
There was always hope to hold
There was always light to show
That none of us were meant to grow alone
Caps in the air
And the future calling home
No…
we’re not growing alone.
