Both Can Be True

from Root (2026)

Somebody's praying for the life I complain about
Somebody's losing hope while I'm figuring mine out
One heart breaks and calls it the end
Another finds strength to begin again

Same rain falling from the sky
One curses it, one watches flowers rise
Funny how the world can change
Without moving at all

Maybe truth depends
On the eyes we're looking through

Both can be true
You can hurt and still heal too
You can lose and still find meaning
In the breaking coming through

Both can be true
Life can ache and still be beautiful
Every storm can hold a sunrise
Every ending something new

Maybe that's the hardest lesson
Nothing's only black or blue
Sometimes opposite emotions
Both can be true

The rich still search for peace at night
The poor still laugh beneath hard lives
The young rush toward tomorrow fast
The old just want one moment back

We spend so much time reaching out
For greener grass on distant ground
While missing all the little things
Still alive around us now

Maybe wisdom is learning
Not to choose one side

Both can be true
You can grieve and still feel love too
You can fear the road ahead
And still walk it like you do

Both can be true
Life's not simple, people aren't too
Every scar can carry sorrow
And still carry beauty through

Maybe healing starts the moment
We stop demanding one clear view
And let the contradictions
Both be true

Maybe strength isn't pretending
Everything is fine
Maybe peace is simply learning
How to hold the dark and light

The grief and gratitude
The joy and missing too
Maybe being human means
Both can be true

Both can be true
You can break and still renew
You can feel completely lost
And still become somebody new

Both can be true
Every night still leads the moon
Every ending leaves a doorway
For another life to bloom

Maybe that's the beauty in it
Nothing stays the way we knew
And maybe that's what makes us human
Both can be true

Maybe healing isn't choosing one feeling…
Maybe it's learning to hold them all….

Never Too Late

from Root (2026)

She got married at 42
They told her love had passed her by
But when he looked into her soul
She knew the stars were right on time
Healed from pain she never spoke
Built a home with bricks of hope
She's not behind
She's on her road
And peace is where she goes

Don't let timelines steal your light
You're not behind, you're in your flight
There's no map for every soul
Just steps that make you whole

It's never too late to bloom
Never too late to try
To fall in love with life again
Or reach for your sky
You're not missing out
You're just becoming fate
And every breath you take
Whispers, it's never too late

He found purpose at 55
Built a dream they said was gone
Started small, but with a spark
Now the fire's burning strong
They laughed when he began again
But he smiled and held his pen
Wrote the pages of his truth
Now they quote his words like proof

Don't let noise define your lane
You've got thunder in your name
There's no rush to touch the sun
You shine when the time has come

It's never too late to bloom
Never too late to try
To fall in love with life again
Or reach for your sky
You're not missing out
You're just becoming fate
And every breath you take
Whispers, it's never too late

So if you're feeling far behind
In this world that races time
Breathe it in and take your place
You're right on time with grace

It's never too late to dream
Never too late to fly
To leave the past and start again
With your head held high
You're not broken down
You're just bending fate
And every tear you've faced
Proves, it's never too late

You're not late
You're not lost
You're just arriving
Right on time….
