I pour the coffee in my own quiet place
Feel the morning sun warming up my face
Taking it all just one day at a time
Leaving the shadows of the past behind
They call me Holly, and I'm learning to breathe
Learning to live again, and finding my peace
ChorusI try to be quiet, I try to be kind
A loving soul with a peaceful mind
Always there for the ones I hold dear
But I know the reason I'm still standing here
Through every shadow, the best and the worst
I can love them 'cause Jesus loved me first
Verse 2Elias and Bailey come through the front door
Reminding me what I am building this for
And sweet little Taytay brings a smile to my face
Filling each room of this beautiful place
My grandchildren's laughter is a heavenly sound
Planting my feet back on solid ground
ChorusI try to be quiet, I try to be kind
A loving soul with a peaceful mind
Always there for the ones I hold dear
But I know the reason I'm still standing here
Through every shadow, the best and the worst
I can love them 'cause Jesus loved me first
BridgeGod held my hand when the water was deep
And gave me a promise that I want to keep
To be a safe harbor, steady and true
With faith as the anchor that's pulling me through
Final ChorusI try to be quiet, I try to be kind
A loving soul with a peaceful mind
Always there for the ones I hold dear
And I know the reason I'm still standing here
Through every shadow, the best and the worst
I can love them 'cause Jesus loved me first
Yeah, I'm learning to live, 'cause Jesus loved me first
