Verse 1
There’s a certain kind of irony
In a life built from lies,
Even though I see them clearly now
Those notes were never a harmony.
The words I prayed, the dreams I held —
I carried them like borrowed clay.
Looking back with open eyes,
I’m grateful that I didn’t stay.
Pre‑Chorus
There’s a quiet truth
Rising in my chest,
Not a warning
Just a gentle yes.
Chorus
I’m learning who I am without their shadows,
Building from the ground with honest light.
Every step I take is mine alone now,
And it finally feels right.
I’m discovering joy in all my colors,
No more shame stitched into my skin.
I’m unfolding into someone real —
And I love who I’m becoming in the end.
Verse 2
There’s a peace I’ve found in letting go
Of Religion and of Fear.
All the truths they claimed were holy
Only kept me bound and small.
I was taught to hate the parts of me
They labeled sinful, weak, distasteful —
But turning thirty showed me clearly
How their flock was just a wolf pack after all.
Pre‑Chorus
There’s a quiet truth
Rising in my chest,
Not a warning
Just a gentle yes.
Chorus
I’m learning who I am without their shadows,
Building from the ground with honest light.
Every step I take is mine alone now,
And it finally feels right.
I’m discovering joy in all my colors,
No more shame stitched into my skin.
I’m unfolding into someone real —
And I love who I’m becoming in the end.
Bridge
To myself I make amends,
Let my spectrum finally show —
A rainbow with gold on both ends,
A truth they never got to know.
Life is full of life again,
No longer hidden by their pall.
I’m walking out of every storm,
Healing in stages, standing tall.
Breakdown (half‑sung / spoken)
The winds still tug at my clothes,
But I’m not afraid of where they lead.
I’ve found myself in sunshine now,
And I’m learning how to breathe.
Final Chorus
I’m learning who I am without their shadows,
Building from the ground with honest light.
Every step I take is mine alone now,
And it finally feels right.
I’m discovering joy in all my colors,
No more shame stitched into my skin.
I’m unfolding into someone real —
And I love who I’m becoming in the end.
I love who I’m becoming in the end.
