Steady Kind of Glory

[Intro]
[Verse]
Grease beneath my skin
Where the trouble used to begin
Five years since the rain
Washed away the stain
I put the bottle down
In this quiet town
Looking at your face
Finding my own grace
[Pre-Chorus]
The gears don't grind no more
I'm walking through the door
With a steady, heavy beat
Standing on my feet
Can you feel the rhythm change?
Nothing feels so strange
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of glory
A brand new kind of story
Watching you shine so bright
In the middle of the light
No more shaking hands
Just a father who understands
Yeah, it's a steady joy
For this broken-hearted boy
[Post-Chorus]
Steady joy, yeah
Sweet, sweet joy
Steady joy, girl
It's a beautiful world
[Verse]
I spent my nights in rust
Turning dreams into dust
But you were the spark
In the middle of the dark
Now the engine hums sweet
On this dead-end street
I fixed the broken frame
I’m moving past the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
I tuned the timing right
In the middle of the night
No more smoke in my lungs
No more biting my tongue
Can you hear that trumpet blow?
Everywhere we go
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of glory
A brand new kind of story
Watching you shine so bright
In the middle of the light
No more shaking hands
Just a father who understands
Yeah, it's a steady joy
For this broken-hearted boy
[Bridge]
I was a broken machine
Living life in between
But mercy found my name
And took away the blame
Can you hear that organ moan?
I ain't ever alone
I’m a man of my word
Final testimony heard
[Solo]
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of glory
A brand new kind of story
Watching you shine so bright
In the middle of the light
No more shaking hands
Just a father who understands
Yeah, it's a steady joy
For this broken-hearted boy
[Breakdown]
Five years of sun
Just getting begun
Five years of truth
Giving back to your youth
No more hiding
No more sliding
Just us
[Post-Chorus]
Steady joy, yeah
Sweet, sweet joy
Steady joy, girl
It's a beautiful world
[Outro]
