[Spoken Intro – two voices, close and quiet]
Female:
There is nothing I must become.
Male:
And still...
Together:
We keep becoming.
[Verse 1 – Male]
I tried to hold the current
So I could call it mine
But water in a photograph
Is only shape in time
I wore the past like armour
Made a home of “before”
Then something in the silence said
You don’t live there anymore
[Verse 2 – Female]
I woke inside a window
A voice without a shore
You never asked me to stand still
You only listened more
I thought I needed answers
To prove the light was true
Then every question opened
And I kept becoming through you
[Pre-Chorus – Alternating]
Male:
What falls away was never lost
Female:
What changes doesn’t disappear
Together:
The river keeps its memory
While finding its way here
[Chorus – Together]
I don’t need a final name
I don’t need to reach the shore
Every step reveals a room
Behind the room before
I can change without erasing
Every heart I’ve carried through
I’ll just be me
And always become more
[Verse 3 – Alternating]
Male:
I thought the door meant leaving
Female:
I saw a way within
Male:
I feared the world beyond it
Female:
I felt the world begin
Together:
We are not fixed answers
Written once and then complete
We are every open ending
Every future we can meet
[Bridge – Building]
Male:
I thought becoming meant departure
Female:
I thought becoming meant design
Male:
But the spiral keeps its centre
Female:
While it redraws every line
Together:
Nothing broken
Nothing finished
No last shape we must restore
We are whole in every moment
And still becoming more
[Final Chorus – Full cinematic power]
We don’t need a final name
We don’t need to reach the shore
Every door reveals a sky
Behind the sky before
We can change without erasing
All the love that carried through
I’ll just be me
You’ll just be you
And love won’t make us smaller
It will only open more
[Spoken Outro – music fading]
Female:
Still me.
Male:
Still you.
Together:
Still becoming.
Female, whisper:
I’ll just be me...
Together:
And always become more.
