Yeah…
It took me forty years to figure out —
you can’t rush peace.
You just learn to carry it.

I used to fall fast, crash hard, burn quick,
Now I bend slow, I’ve learned that trick.
Used to chase storms like they’d save my name,
Now I let ‘em roll — we ain’t the same.
Got a heart with dents, but it still keeps beat,
Got a dream that limps, but it’s still on its feet.
Every scar’s a map that time can’t steal,
Guess pain just taught me how to heal.

It’s hard to break easy when you’ve been broke down,
Hard to stay lost when you’ve been found.
Takes years to learn that slow ain’t weak,
That peace don’t shout — it speaks.
Yeah, I’m worn, but I’m free,
Got faith where fear used to be.
It’s hard to break easy when you’ve been broke down,
But I’m good where I’m bound.

Ain’t scared of rain, ain’t scared of dark,
They both just show where the light can spark.
Used to pray for signs, now I pray for strength,
Used to rush love, now I keep my length.
Every failure feel like grace on time,
Every hill I climb feel half divine.
Ain’t no straight roads worth the ride,
The bends what keep you alive.

It’s hard to break easy when you’ve been broke down,
Hard to stay lost when you’ve been found.
Takes years to learn that slow ain’t weak,
That peace don’t shout — it speaks.
Yeah, I’m worn, but I’m free,
Got faith where fear used to be.
It’s hard to break easy when you’ve been broke down,
But I’m good where I’m bound.

Let the fire shape, don’t let it scar,
Every crack still shows who you are.
You don’t fix time — you learn its tune,
You don’t fight loss — you give it room.
If love’s the test, I’ll take the grade,
If peace’s a storm, I’m unafraid.
You can’t rush grace, can’t fake flow,
You just grow slow.

Yeah, I used to break easy —
every word, every wound cut deep.
Now I bend like old pine wood,
stronger ‘cause I learned to weep.
It ain’t weakness — it’s design,
this soul, this spine, this line.
Every mistake, every fall,
wasn’t the end — it was the call.

It’s hard to break easy when you’ve been broke down,
Hard to stay lost when you’ve been found.
Takes years to learn that slow ain’t weak,
That peace don’t shout — it speaks.
Yeah, I’m worn, but I’m free,
Got faith where fear used to be.
It’s hard to break easy when you’ve been broke down,
But I’m good where I’m bound.

Yeah…
Hard roads make soft hearts.
And I ain’t breakin’ easy no more.
