[Verse 1]
I grew up in a house
Where the silence sat heavy
No hands in the doorway
No one saying, "come here"
I learned how to hold
What I never got handed
Kept my heart in my pocket
Just to make it through here
[Pre-Chorus]
But something in me
Started waking up slow
Like a seed in the dirt
Finding room to grow
And I saw my own face
In the window one day
It said, "baby, you were never empty"
You were made this way
[Chorus]
I am love, I am love
I can build it up
I am love, I am love
I can give enough
Where I go, where I go
Warmth will follow me
I am love, I am love
Watch me set it free
(I am love)
[Verse 2]
Now I leave little kindness
On the table, in passing
A text in the morning
A light in the dark
I don't chase what is missing
I create what is needed
With a look, with a touch
With the beat of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And the more that I give
The more I come home
I was never broken
I was built to glow
So if you need a soft place
Then come stand by me
I found a love inside my body
And it’s running free
[Chorus]
I am love, I am love
I can build it up
I am love, I am love
I can give enough
Where I go, where I go
Warmth will follow me
I am love, I am love
Watch me set it free
(I am love)
[Bridge]
No, I won't beg for a name
I won't wait for the rescue
I can water the ground
Till it blooms right through
From the ache, from the loss
I made something holy
And every room I enter now
Knows what to do
[Final Chorus]
I am love, I am love
I can build it up
I am love, I am love
I can give enough
Where I go, where I go
Warmth will follow me
I am love, I am love
Watch me set it free
(I am love)
I am love, I am love
That’s the truth in me
I am love, I am love
And I’m finally free
