Growing Into the Light

[Intro]
Silent house, quiet mind, reflections in the night
Whispered doubts, hidden fears, trying to find the light

[Verse 1]
I’m rooted like a tree, standing tall but feeling dry
A life built brick by brick, but somewhere I ask why?
Kids laughing, days passing by, a routine I can’t explain
Inside, I’m longing for something more, caught between comfort and pain

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not about love, it’s about what’s in my soul
Balancing what’s real and what I need to be whole

[Chorus]
Like a plant without water, I’m wilted inside
Growing in this shadow, longing to thrive
Leaving behind the shadows, seeking the sun
It’s time to grow, it’s time to run

[Verse 2]
Good job, a cozy house, but empty nights alone
Memories I cherish, yet I feel like I’ve outgrown
The love that once was easy, now it’s a gentle strain
Trying to find my footing, amidst the joy and the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not about blame, it’s about setting free
The person I’ve become, the one I want to be

[Chorus]
Like a plant without water, I’m wilted inside
Growing in this shadow, longing to thrive
Leaving behind the shadows, seeking the sun
It’s time to grow, it’s time to run

[Bridge]
Breaking through the silence, with hope as my guide
Embracing the unknown, letting fears subside
Steps into the sunlight, fresh air to breathe in
A new dawn awaits, where I can begin

[Outro]
Grown and reborn, I will find my way
Facing new horizons, starting a brighter day
Like a plant that blooms anew, I’ll find my light
Moving forward, into the night
