My Cracks Let Light In

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] The old ceramic vase bears a long crack I used to hide it behind me when guests came [Verse 1] The fracture runs like a small river on the glaze I take liquid gold and fill every seam Not to cover but to honor what was once a flaw It tells the story of a vase that broke [Pre-Chorus] Afternoon sun slants through that seam And inside the vase a small bright band appears [Chorus] My cracks let light in My seams let the light pour through My cracks let light in These scars become windows [Verse 2] People hunt for flawless smooth ceramics I keep my cracked vase cause it has a soul Each crack a time I stood back up Gathering the shards into a new me [Chorus] My cracks let light in My seams let the light pour through My cracks let light in These scars become windows [Bridge] Don't paint over what once hurt Let the gold in the seam shine clear Confidence doesn't come from never breaking [Chorus] My cracks let light in My seams let the light pour through My cracks let light in These scars become windows [Outro] The vase rests on the shelf in the evening light The gold seam glitters as if born that way [Fade Out] [End]
