More than I was

Verse 1 (0:15–0:40)

I was taught to keep my questions quiet

Lower my eyes, don’t trust my voice

But there’s a fire in my chest that whispers

“You were always given choice”

I walked roads already painted

In colors someone else believed

Till the mirror started talking back

Said, “There’s more in you than you can see”

⸻

Pre-Chorus (0:40–0:55)

I’m not losing faith, I’m finding it deeper

Not in fear, but in who I am

If God is truth and love and breath

Then He’s closer than my skin

⸻

Chorus (0:55–1:20)

I am more than what I was told to be

More than silence, more than shame

I carry faith in my own heartbeat

I don’t need permission to say His name

I rise, I heal, I listen within

I trust the light I’ve always been

I’m not walking away from heaven

I’m walking closer to who I am

⸻

Instrumental / Echo Hook (1:20–1:30)

(soft repeat, half-chorus feel)

More than I was…

More than I was…

⸻

Verse 2 (1:30–1:55)

They called us helpers, soft and yielding

But forgot who carries life

Forgot the hands that hold the world

Together in the quiet night

Wisdom’s voice was always speaking

Through the daughters, through the pain

Through every woman brave enough

To choose love over chains

⸻

Pre-Chorus (repeat) (1:55–2:10)

I’m not losing faith, I’m finding it deeper

Truth was never meant to hide

If I’m made in something holy

Then the holy lives inside

⸻

Chorus (repeat, lighter) (2:10–2:30)

I am more than what I was told to be

More than waiting, more than small

I carry faith in my own knowing

I can hear God when I fall

I rise, I heal, I listen within

I trust the light I’ve always been

I’m not walking away from heaven

I’m walking closer to who I am

⸻

Outro / Breakdown (2:30–2:52)

(instrument drops, intimate)

More than I was…

More than afraid…

I was never lost…

I was waking up…

(last line almost whispered)

I’m walking home… to me.
