Thankful You're Still Here ft. Otieno Terry Lyrics

I appreciate your patience if you still rocking with me

This was not for performance, this was all a part of therapy

Tears in my lyrics just so I could see with clarity

There's parts that I'm proud of, some parts that are embarrassing

I know this level of vulnerability's a rarity

Especially from men, I had to share parts that scared me

From my own life so the trauma won't impair me

Shakiah says it all the time, build with sincerity

So many men I know are numb, to the point of loving none

You try to have a conversation with 'em and it's done

I wonder if it's trauma that they never faced, bottled up

And we should worry 'bout our strong friends, call em up

'Cuz you never know the struggles that they never show

None of us should ever have to face life alone

And I love my folks more than I could ever show 'em

Whatever you going through, don't give up for no one

Step by step

We stumble

There's pitfalls

We get there

Breath by breath

I'm thankful you're still here

Step by step

We stumble

There's pitfalls

We get there

Breath by breath

I'm thankful you're still here

I wake up, take a shower, brush my teeth

Put some clothes on, and then I hit the streets

Go out to get coffee, no it's not that deep

But my morning ritual means more than caffeine

It means I'm getting out no matter how I feel

'Cuz without connection I don't know how we heal

And I'm an introvert, so I gotta work for real

To not isolate myself and it's still one day at a time

I'm climbing over this hill

Take the pieces of my heart to see what we can build

I hope to never be the same, there's more to be revealed

'Cuz life is a story of glorious defeat

Beautiful mistakes and the company we keep

Balance of alone time, and one third sleep

Our dreams and our histories often repeat

There's a war going on with anybody you meet

So try to be more sweet

Step by step

We stumble

There's pitfalls

We get there

Breath by breath

I'm thankful you're still here

Step by step

We stumble

There's pitfalls

We get there

Breath by breath

I'm thankful you're still here
