It’s My Life (Dark River Toast)

[Verse 1]
Old boots by the door
Same road
Different dawn
Scars on my hands
Names in my phone
Some stayed
Most moved on

Half-full glass on the table
Candles burned right through the night
I count the years like bottle caps
Stacked crooked
But still upright

[Chorus]
It’s my life
Raise that glass to the broken and the brave
It’s my time
Sing for every little step I had to save
If I fall
I get up slow
Dust and doubt on these old bones
It’s my life
It cuts
It cries
It glows

[Verse 2]
Mama said “boy
Light’s in your chest”
Not in what you own
Laughed through the bills
And the busted wheels
Held that house like stone

Rain hit the porch like soft drums
Thunder rolled low
Out of tune
I learned to dance with the bad days
Bare feet on a splintered room

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Here’s to the nights I almost quit
To the friends who pulled me back from it
To every wrong turn that steered me right
To the tear that tasted sweet tonight

[Chorus]
