Light Beneath My Skin

I’ve been walking through the shadows of my mind

Trying to find the piece of me I left behind

Every echo feels like someone calling out

But maybe it’s just me, learning what I’m all about

I hear the quiet in the spaces where I break

Softly telling me there’s beauty in mistakes

Holding on to who I was, I let it go

Now I’m learning how to grow, learning how to glow

Maybe all this time

The truth was waiting inside

Every fear, every doubt

Just trying to show me how

This is what it sounds like

When I finally breathe

When I stop running

And start believing in me

This is what it feels like

When my heart is free

When I hear my own voice

Saying who I’m meant to be

Yeah, this is what it sounds like

Sounds like me

I’m not perfect, but I’m learning to be real

Learning how to trust the things I truly feel

Even when I fall, the silence holds me tight

Guiding me gently toward the light

I’m not broken, just becoming something new

Like the morning that awakens after midnight blue

Every scar is just a story I survived

A quiet reminder that I’m still alive

Maybe all these scars

Are constellations in disguise

Showing where I’ve been

And leading me to rise

This is what it sounds like

When I finally breathe

When I stop running

And start believing in me

This is what it feels like

When my heart is free

When I hear my own voice

Saying who I’m meant to be

Yeah, this is what it sounds like

Sounds like me

(male) I used to chase the versions people wanted me to be

(female) But now I know the only truth is what I choose to see

(male) The fear is fading slowly like a fire in the rain

(female) And hope is blooming quietly where I once felt all the pain

(male whisper) I hear me now

(female whisper) I’m not afraid

(together) I’m finding my way

I hear the world

But I hear me more

Every step forward

Feels like opening a door

To who I was

To who I’ll be

To everything that sounds

Like me

This is what it sounds like

When I finally breathe

When I stop running

And start believing in me

This is what it feels like

When my heart is free

When I hear my own voice

Saying who I’m meant to be

Yeah, this is what it sounds like

Sounds like me

Sounds like me…

Sounds like me…

I’m finally learning who I’m meant to be

Sounds like me…

I’m finally free…

Sounds like me…
