Welcome To My Body

[Verse 1]
I used to hide in corners
Counting every scar I see
Wearing all that wasn’t mine
Like it was my identity
Kept my laughter under layers
Pulled my shirt to shrink my frame
Every mirror felt like trial
Every angle spoke in shame
[Pre-Chorus]
But these hands
Hold my story
These hips
Carry glory
Every bruise
Became a bloom
Watch me walk out of that room
[Chorus]
Welcome to my body
Every curve
Every line
I unwrap all the hurting
And call what I am divine
I’m walking in victory
On legs that survived the night
I’m accepting beauty
In the soft and in the fight
Welcome to my body
This temple is back to life
[Verse 2]
I forgave that younger version
Who believed it was her fault
Let her cry inside my heartbeat
Till the shaking came to a halt
Now my joy fits like a sundress
Spinning wild across the floor
I am healed and I am holy
I am not his anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
These thighs
Are a thunder
These arms
Pull me under
Every “too much”
Every “not enough”
Turned to armor
Turned to love
[Chorus]
Welcome to my body
Every curve
Every line
I unwrap all the hurting
And call what I am divine
I’m walking in victory
On legs that survived the night
I’m accepting beauty
In the soft and in the fight
Welcome to my body
This temple is back to life
[Bridge]
I reclaim my laughter
I reclaim my skin
I reclaim the silence
And let my dancing in
I reclaim my pleasure
I reclaim my name
Every step I’m taking
Leaves the ashes in the flame
[Chorus]
Welcome to my body
Every curve
Every line
I’ve come back for my own heart
Every broken piece is mine
I’m walking in victory
On feet that still choose the light
I’m dancing with love now
In a dress made out of bright
Welcome to my body
I’m reclaiming me tonight (oh)
Welcome to my body
Watch me rise in my own light
