Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I am miles from where I was
Yet so far from where I wanna be
With each step I learn to trust
The maker is still making me
And I, I'm becoming
I, I'm becoming
Life is a house full of rooms
Each door opens to another door
I can't walk into something new
Till I leave behind where I was before
'Cause I, I'm becoming
I, I'm becoming
Sorry for the days that I let you down
Thank you for the way that you stuck around
Giving me the grace to figure it out
While I was still learning to be found
'Cause I, I'm becoming
I, I'm becoming
It's progress, not perfection
Not arrival, it's direction
It's the living and the learning
Not the finish line but the journey
It's progress, not perfection
Not arrival, it's direction
It's the living and the learning
Not the finish line but the journey
I, I'm becoming
I, I'm becoming
Ooh
It's progress, not perfection
Not arrival, it's direction
It's the living and the learning
Not the finish line but the journey
