How Far You've Come

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some storms roll in without a warning, They take the light and leave the gray. And when the world went quiet on you, You found a way to face the day. Through every tear you held together, A heart still learning how to stay. [Chorus] Oh, look how far you've come now, Standing tall through all the pain. Stronger than you ever knew, Rising up through wind and rain. You carried love, you carried on, A quiet fire that won't be gone. [Verse 2] Twenty years of love and laughter, A hand to hold through thick and thin. When you lost the man who loved you, You found the strength you held within. You went back out and chased tomorrow, Melissa, you began again. [Chorus] Oh, look how far you've come now, Standing tall through all the pain. Stronger than you ever knew, Rising up through wind and rain. You carried love, you carried on, A quiet fire that won't be gone. [Bridge] And Jorge still walks beside you, In every step, in every prayer. The love you shared for twenty years Is written in the evening air. [Verse 3] You built a home, you carried burdens, You made it look like grace was ease. A job, a book, a house, a heartache, You found your footing on your knees. Melissa, know your sister Christina's proud For all the woman you've become. [Chorus] Oh, look how far you've come now, Standing tall through all the pain. Stronger than you ever knew, Rising up through wind and rain. You carried love, you carried on, A quiet fire that won't be gone. [Outro] So rest your heart, sweet sister, You are braver than you know. The love you gave still lights the way, And you're never on your own.
