Nothing Left to Prove

Lyrics

Old team photo in a box by the bed I can see a lot of noise in the smile I had then Always had to win, had to finish every sentence Had to make the whole room witness my entrance Now I take the back seat, hear the full idea Try to make my words worth the time it takes to hear Got a little grayer, got a little more kind Got a friend I call without a favor in mind Some doors closed, and I quit keeping score Found the same fresh air through a different door I still got a fire, I just cook with it now Don't have to burn the whole place down Nothing left to prove Still got things to do I can want a better life And like the one I'm moving through Nothing left to prove Got a little better view I don't need to be the loudest To be standing in my truth Dad used to say, let the work talk first I thought he meant grind till your whole back hurts Now I hear the part that I missed back then Do what you said, show up again So I fix the loose hinge, get the washing off the line Make a little music when the house gets quiet Every small promise that I manage to keep Means more than a hundred people cheering in a feed I can clap for somebody when their dreams come true It don't take a thing from the life I'm walking through Nothing left to prove Still got things to do I can want a better life And like the one I'm moving through Nothing left to prove Got a little better view I don't need to be the loudest To be standing in my truth Let the room be big enough For every kind of good I don't have to take it all To know I'm understood Nothing left to prove Still got things to do I can want a better life And like the one I'm moving through Nothing left to prove Got a little better view I don't need to be the loudest To be standing in my truth
