The quiet life ( after)

(Verse 1)

Morning light on my shoulders

Like it knows my name

I don’t feel the weight I carried

I don’t feel the same

There’s a softness in my body

Where the armor used to be

Like the silence finally opened

And it’s singing through me

(Chorus)

And it’s quiet, oh it’s quiet

But it’s louder than before

Not the sound of something breaking

It’s the healing at the core

I am resting in the after

I am held in something true

There was beauty in the breaking

Now there’s beauty in the blue

(Verse 2)

Every breath feels like a blessing

Falling easy through my chest

I don’t have to chase the feeling

I can finally just rest

There’s a rhythm in the stillness

Like the tide has turned at last

I am not afraid of shadows

They are fading with the past

(Chorus)

And it’s quiet, oh it’s quiet

But it’s fuller than the noise

Like a thousand tiny answers

In the space between the voice

I am resting in the after

I am held in something true

There was beauty in the breaking

Now there’s beauty in the blue

(Bridge)

If you find this in a moment

When the world feels far away

Let it wrap around your breathing

You don’t have to run or stay

There’s a place beneath the healing

Where you’re already whole and wide

You don’t need to become it

You just soften into life

(Outro)

So I’ll stay here in the quiet

Let it hold me like the sea

There is nothing left to search for

What I am is here in me
