Lyrics (English)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You’ve been holding things together
No one ever asked you to
Smiling through the cracks
Because that’s what you learned to do
You kept moving when you wanted to stop
You kept quiet when you needed to speak
And no one noticed the courage it took
Just to make it through the week

You don’t call it strength
You call it survival
But heaven sees the weight you carry
You don’t need to impress tomorrow
You only need to be here
Right now

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t owe the world
A faster pace
You’re allowed to rest
You’re allowed to take space

[Chorus]
You’re allowed to keep going slowly
You’re allowed to take your time
Healing isn’t loud or linear
Sometimes it’s just staying alive
You don’t have to feel fearless
You don’t have to feel strong
If you’re still breathing
You’re still moving on

You may feel behind
You may feel unsure
But slow steps forward
Still count as forward
You’re allowed to keep going slowly
And that is enough

[Verse 2]
You thought by now you’d be different
Less tired, less afraid
But growth doesn’t erase the past
It teaches you how to stay
Some lessons only come
When you’re worn down and quiet
When life stops making sense
And you choose not to fight it

You learned to keep your heart open
In a world that closes tight
You learned to be gentle
Even when no one was kind
That didn’t make you weak
That made you rare
That made you someone
Who still cares

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You don’t need answers
To belong
You don’t need certainty
To move along

[Chorus]
You’re allowed to keep going slowly
You’re not failing because you pause
Rest is not quitting
It’s listening
To what your soul has lost
You don’t need to prove your progress
You don’t need to explain your pain
If you’re still choosing to stay
That’s growth
That’s strength

You may bend
You may ache
But you are not broken
For heaven’s sake
You’re allowed to keep going slowly
Grace moves at your pace

[Verse 3]
You are not late to your life
You’re not behind some invisible line
There is no version of you
That God gave up on in time
What looks like delay
Is often preparation
What feels like standing still
Is quiet transformation

[Chorus]
You’re allowed to keep going slowly
Even when others run ahead
Your story isn’t measured
By how fast you get there
You’re allowed to keep going slowly
You are not wasting grace

[Final Chorus]
You’re allowed to keep going slowly
All the way home
You’re allowed to take the long road
You’re not alone
Every breath you chose to take
Is proof
You are still on your way

You are not forgotten
You are not unseen
You are deeply loved
In-between
You’re allowed to keep going slowly
And you’re doing just fine

Lyrics (Korean)

[Verse 1]
아무도 부탁하지 않았는데
당신은 모든 것을 붙들고 버텨왔습니다
금이 간 틈 사이로
웃는 법을 배웠기에
멈추고 싶을 때에도 계속 움직였고
말해야 할 순간에도
침묵을 선택했습니다
그저 한 주를 버텨내기까지
필요했던 그 용기를
아무도 알아주지 못했을 뿐입니다

당신은 그것을
강함이라 부르지 않고
그저 생존이라 부르지만
하늘은
당신이 지고 있는 무게를 보고 있습니다
내일을 증명할 필요는 없습니다
지금
여기에 있는 것으로 충분합니다

[Pre-Chorus]
세상에
더 빠른 속도를
빚진 것이 아닙니다
쉬어도 괜찮고
잠시 멈춰도 괜찮습니다

[Chorus]
천천히 가도 괜찮습니다
당신은 시간을 가져도 됩니다
치유는 늘 크거나
직선적이지 않습니다
때로는 그저
살아남는 것 자체가
전진일 때도 있습니다

두려움이 없어야 할 필요도
강해야 할 필요도 없습니다
아직 숨 쉬고 있다면
당신은 여전히
나아가고 있습니다

뒤처진 것처럼 느껴질 수도
확신이 없을 수도 있지만
느린 걸음도
여전히 전진입니다
천천히 가도 괜찮습니다
그것이면 충분합니다

[Verse 2]
지금쯤이면
달라져 있을 거라 생각했겠지만
덜 지치고
덜 두려운 모습으로
성장은 과거를 지우지 않고
머무는 법을 가르쳐 줍니다
어떤 배움은
지치고 조용해졌을 때에만 옵니다
삶이 이해되지 않을 때
싸우지 않기로 선택할 때

닫혀 가는 세상 속에서도
당신은 마음을 열어두는 법을 배웠고
아무도 친절하지 않을 때에도
부드러움을 선택하는 법을 배웠습니다
그것은 약함이 아니었습니다
그것은 드묾이었고
여전히
사랑할 줄 아는 사람이 되었다는 증거였습니다

[Pre-Chorus 2]
소속되기 위해
모든 답이 필요하지 않고
앞으로 나아가기 위해
완전한 확신도 필요하지 않습니다

[Chorus]
천천히 가도 괜찮습니다
잠시 멈췄다고 실패한 것이 아닙니다
쉼은 포기가 아니라
잃어버린 것을
영혼이 다시 듣는 시간입니다
당신의 성장을
증명할 필요도
아픔을 설명할 필요도 없습니다

여전히 머물기를
선택하고 있다면
그것이 성장이고
그것이 강함입니다

휘어질 수는 있어도
아플 수는 있어도
당신은 부서진 것이 아닙니다
천천히 가도 괜찮습니다
은혜는
당신의 속도로 움직입니다
