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.
