Soft Life Hard Won lyrics

This is not ease I was born intoThis is ease I built a brick at a timeEvery boundary, every noEvery hard conversation over timePeople see the soft life nowThey don't see the architectureThey don't see the years of draftingBefore I got the structureSoft life, hard wonNot given, not inherited, not luckSoft life, hard wonBuilt from every time I got back upEvery person I outgrewEvery version I revisedSoft life, hard wonAnd every quiet morning is the prizeEvery quiet morning is the prizeI earned the slower paceBy surviving the relentless oneI earned the room to breatheBy learning what was costing me the airAnd people ask what changed in youAnd I say I stopped acceptingThe idea that the only way to love somethingWas to prove it by sufferingSoft life, hard wonNot given, not inherited, not luckSoft life, hard wonBuilt from every time I got back upEvery person I outgrewEvery version I revisedSoft life, hard wonAnd every quiet morning is the prizeEvery quiet morning is the prizeSoftness is not weaknessIt's the result of strengthUsed long enough, used intentionallyUsed until it became this lengthThis width, this peace, this roomThis particular quality of lightSoft life, hard wonThis is what I built from every fightHard wonSoft nowHard wonWorth it
