Not By Far

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your shoes beside the bed And wrote three words on yellow paper The morning tried to change your plans But you got up and faced it later The train was gone, the coffee cold Your good shirt caught on the elevator You laughed and said, “I’m still on time” Then took the stairs and climbed them faster [Pre-Chorus] Every little setback Doesn’t get the final say Take a breath, reset that You’re still moving anyway [Chorus] Don’t give up, not tonight You’ve got more than one more try When the door won’t open wide Build a key and turn the tide Don’t give up, keep your heart Even when it falls apart You’re not finished, not by far Look how strong you really are [Verse 2] Your phone lit up with one “no thanks” After weeks of waiting on an answer You folded up the printed page And pinned a new one to the plaster The room got quiet, then you smiled Like you had found a hidden chapter Some roads are slow because they lead To something worth the extra miles [Pre-Chorus] Every little setback Doesn’t get the final say Take a breath, reset that You’re still moving anyway [Chorus] Don’t give up, not tonight You’ve got more than one more try When the door won’t open wide Build a key and turn the tide Don’t give up, keep your heart Even when it falls apart You’re not finished, not by far Look how strong you really are [Bridge] If your hands are tired, hold mine If you lose the thread, we’ll find it One more step across the line You’ve been brave the whole time [Final Chorus] Don’t give up, not tonight You’ve got more than one more try When the door won’t open wide Build a key and turn the tide Don’t give up, keep your heart Even when it falls apart You’re not finished, not by far Look how strong you really are [Outro] Not by far Look how strong you really are
