[Verse 1]
Wake up
Body shaking
But my spirit standing tall
Scars like ancient scriptures
Written on this mortal wall
Breath moves slow and heavy
Still I’m shining from within
Every pain a doorway
Where the holy fire walks in
[Chorus]
I’m a temple of the Soul
Not just flesh and not just bone
Guard the flame through joy and sorrow
I won’t trade today for easy tomorrow
I’m a link in an endless chain
Keep the light through fear and pain
No compromise
I stand
I glow
I’m a temple of the Soul (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Some days chains feel heavy
Iron around my feet
But the old ones walk beside me
In the drum of my heartbeat
If I fall
I fall in prayer
Face down on sacred ground
Even in my breaking
I will keep the circle bound
[Chorus]
I’m a temple of the Soul
Not just flesh and not just bone
Guard the flame through joy and sorrow
I won’t trade today for easy tomorrow
I’m a link in an endless chain
Keep the light through fear and pain
No compromise
I stand
I glow
I’m a temple of the Soul (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
If we suffer
Let it be
Like incense rising
If we wander
Let us walk
Still realizing
Every step
Every tear
Keeps the way open wide
Holy work
Holy work
In this fragile hide
[Chorus]
I’m a temple of the Soul
Not just flesh and not just bone
Guard the flame through joy and sorrow
I won’t trade today for easy tomorrow
I’m a link in an endless chain
Keep the light through fear and pain
No compromise
I stand
I glow
I’m a temple of the Soul (I’m a temple)
I’m a temple of the Soul (oh, oh)
I’m a temple of the Soul
