Lyrics
NOTHING TO BECOME
KIRI NOVA
[Intro — soft female whisper, piano]
All my life
I thought becoming
was the point.
One more step.
One more answer.
One more version of me.
Until the river asked...
Where are you going?
[Verse 1]
I spent forever trying to arrive
Building tomorrow to prove I'm alive
Chasing a version I hadn't become
Always believing the best was to come
Better and stronger
Wiser somehow
Trading the moment
For someday from now
I kept on running
Toward another sun
Then the river whispered...
There's nothing to become
[Pre-Chorus]
What if the road
was never a test?
What if becoming
is simply what happens
when life
is allowed to move?
[Chorus]
THERE'S NOTHING TO BECOME
NOTHING TO BECOME
YOU DON'T NEED TOMORROW
TO FINISH WHAT YOU'VE BEGUN
YOU'RE NOT A SEED
THAT FAILED TO GROW
YOU'RE LIFE ITSELF
AND YOU ALREADY KNOW
NOTHING MISSING
NOTHING UNDONE
THERE'S NOTHING...
TO BECOME
[Verse 2]
The seed doesn't dream
of proving it's a tree
The river doesn't ask
where the ocean should be
The morning never worries
if the night approves
And water never studies
how it's supposed to move
But I built a future
and called it my way
Then spent every moment
trying to escape today
Until I heard the silence
underneath the rushing sound
And realized...
I was never lost
enough to be found
[Pre-Chorus]
No finish line
No perfect me
No final answer
I have to see
Maybe growing
doesn't mean
becoming someone
I haven't been
[Chorus]
THERE'S NOTHING TO BECOME
NOTHING TO BECOME
NO DISTANT VERSION OF YOU
WAITING BEYOND THE SUN
YOU'RE NOT A SEED
THAT NEEDS TO KNOW
HOW HIGH
THE TALLEST TREE WILL GROW
ROOTS IN THE DARK
LEAVES IN THE SUN
NOTHING MISSING
NOTHING UNDONE
[Bridge — music falls almost silent]
But if there's
nothing to become...
why grow?
[Pause]
Because the flower
doesn't bloom
to become a flower.
It blooms...
because blooming
is what life is doing.
[Soft pulse returns]
So grow.
Change.
Fall.
Begin again.
Not because
you're incomplete.
Because you're alive.
[Final Chorus — huge emotional rise]
THERE'S NOTHING TO BECOME!
SO LET THE RIVER RUN
LET TOMORROW COME TOMORROW
LET TODAY BECOME THE SUN
LET THE TINY SEED
BREAK OPEN
LET THE TALLEST TREE
STILL COME
NOT BECAUSE
IT WASN'T WHOLE BEFORE
BUT BECAUSE
LIFE MOVES ON
I DON'T NEED
TO REACH THE OCEAN
I DON'T NEED
TO KNOW THE WAY
IF I AM WATER
IN THE RIVER...
THEN I'M ALREADY HERE
TODAY
[Outro — piano, water ambience]
I thought freedom
was becoming
who I was meant to be.
Maybe freedom...
is discovering
there was never anything
wrong with who I am now.
[Whisper]
Grow anyway.
