The Journey to Me (70s Soul Remix)

I used to think I was lost

Just another face in the crowd

But the road that broke me

Was the same one that showed me who I am"

Back then I was all fight and fire

Dreams buried deep in the wire

A child of silence, a mother's ache

Tryna find love in every mistake

Didn't see a plan, didn't see a door

Just echoes of what came before

Thought my anger made me strong

Didn't know sadness was all along

Then he came with truth in sound

Said,"Girl, don't let your pain keep you bound"

This is the journey — the journey to me

Breaking chains that no one could see

From fire to peace, from blind to free

This is the journey — the journey to me

"To me to me"

He saw the storm I tried to hide

The mask I wore, the tears inside

Told me,"Sing, let the pain unfold

Turn those wounds into notes of gold"

Through every song, I shed my skin

Found the woman deep within

Now when I look in the mirror's face

I see strength where hurt took place

Music became my therapy

Notes of pain turned melody

This is the journey — the journey to me

Breaking chains that no one could see

From fire to peace, from blind to free

This is the journey — the journey to me

"To me I'm free"

I was lost in anger's flame

"But now I know my name"

I was blind to what love could be

"Till I found the light in me"

Now I rise, my soul's reborn

"New day new dawn"

This is the journey — the journey to me

The Man: You found your truth, you found your key

Both: No more fear, no more plea

Now you're whole — the woman you're meant to be

"Journey journey to me"

"I thought anger was my power

But it was just the shadow of my pain

Now I know — healing is my strength

And love is who I've been all along"
