Story Behind The Song

a song about recovery

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Easy does it, take it slow,
life's a river, let it flow
Your trauma does't disappear
just because you want it to
You can't outrun the shadow
when it is tied to you
You have to face it, that much is true
It's the only way to make things new

[Pre-chorus]
It's okay if you don't know,
Exactly where you're meant to go
Give God a minute, you have a lifetime
Give God a minute, you have a lifetime

[Chorus]
Easy does it, take your time
There's no clock on how you climb
All good things take time to mend
Broken places learn to bend
Easy does it, take your time

[Verse 2]
The most painful betrayal
doesn't come from your enemies
It comes from the people
who you trust the most
The day when you gave your heart
believing that they would
hold it like a treasure, safe and sound
Now you're learning how to stand your ground

[Pre-chorus]
It's okay if you don't know,
Exactly where you're meant to go
Give God a minute,
you have a lifetime

[Chorus]
Easy does it, take your time
There's no clock on how you climb
All good things take time to mend
Broken places learn to bend
Easy does it, take your time

[Bridge]
You don't have to rush the rain,
Every tear has something to explain
Everything is as it should be,
Even when you cannot see

[instrumental]


[Chorus]
Easy does it, take your time
There's no clock on how you climb
All good things take time to mend
Broken places learn to bend
Easy does it, take your time

[Outro]
Even in the ache and dust
All good things take time -- they do
And time is holding space for you
Easy does it, take your time
