My Own Path

[Verse 1]
Baby, I'm broken
Yeah I've been kicked around
A target wide open
Keep climbing up, keep falling down

Now I'm still hoping
But lately that's a dangerous thing
I keep trying to make the pieces fit
But they won't

[Chorus 1]
I'm not easy
I can be stubborn as an oak
I'm not quite who you think I am
But I'm getting there slowly

Must be a reason
Though I can't explain it all
But I'm learning who I am
And there's victory in that

[Post-Chorus]
And I'm still carving my own path
I'm still carving my own path

[Verse 2]
I wasn't born into riches
I ain't got no Rockefeller blood
I never got a seat on top of that
Golden setting sun

Now, I've mastered imperfection
Yeah, I'm no work of art
But these colors don't come painless
But these colors are my heart

[Chorus 1]
I'm not easy
I can be stubborn as an oak
I'm not quite who you think I am
But I'm getting there slowly

Must be a reason
Though I can't explain it all
But I'm learning who I am
And there's victory in that

[Post-Chorus]
And I'm still carving my own path
I'm still carving my own path

[Bridge]
And baby, when I'm broken
It's your footprints in the sand
That let me know the way back home
To who I am

[Chorus 2]
I'm not easy
I can be stubborn as an oak
I'm not quite who you think I am
But I'm getting there slowly

Must be a reason
Though I can't explain it all
But I'm learning who I am
And there's victory in that

I'm learning just who I am
And there's victory in that

[Outro]
And I'm still carving my own path
I'm still carving my own path
Yeah, I'm still carving
