Coffee Steam Rising (Variation)

Coffee steam rising in the morning light Curling toward the window like a thought Something in me waking up with it A readiness I didn't have to earn It just arrived Like the light through the glass Coffee steam rising And something in me too Not because I fought for it Just because it's true The morning came with open hands And I reached back Coffee steam rising And I'm ready for the day The birds have already started talking The world has already begun But there's no rush to join them The day will wait for me to come It just arrived This feeling in my chest Coffee steam rising And something in me too Not because I fought for it Just because it's true The morning came with open hands And I reached back Coffee steam rising And I'm ready for the day I didn't have to prove anything To feel this way I didn't have to overcome I just had to stay Coffee steam rising In the morning light And I rise with it Feeling light, feeling right No battle, no struggle Just a gift waiting there Coffee steam rising And me breathing the air
