The Path Beneath Your Feet lyrics

Look at me, son, before you walk away Before the world takes all the things I've got to say You're gonna feel the rain, you're gonna face the fire You'll climb the mountain and you'll fall into the mire But don't you let the shadow that's hidden underneath your skin We are not the tragedy, we aren't the pain We are the quiet choice we make inside the rain It's not what hits you hard, or what the winds define It's how you stand your ground and let your spirit shine Stand tall, my son, when the storm is through The crowd might scream, the anger might feel sweet But wisdom is the path beneath your quiet feet A man is measured by the way he holds his head And not the heavy words that angry hearts have said Remember who you are, remember whose you've been We are not the tragedy, we aren't the pain We are the quiet choice we make inside the rain It's not what hits you hard, or what the winds define It's how you stand your ground and let your spirit shine Stand tall, my son, when the storm is through Now go on, boy, you're ready, just breathe And choose the light
