(Verse 1)
There was a map beneath my skin
Drawn in places I couldn’t see
Every silence held a memory
Every shadow breathing me
I felt it stir like distant thunder
In the marrow, in the bone
Something ancient waking slowly
Saying “you are not alone”
(Pre-Chorus)
And oh, the fear began to loosen
Like a knot undone by light
Every tear became a doorway
Every tremor felt like flight
(Chorus)
I’m opening, I’m opening
Like the sky after the rain
Every hidden constellation
Spelling beauty from the pain
I’m unfolding, I’m unfolding
There’s a fire in my chest
Not to burn me into nothing
But to show me I am blessed
(Verse 2)
There were echoes in my body
Old as time and twice as deep
I had buried them in stillness
I had sung myself to sleep
But the rhythm found me breathing
In the spaces I let go
Now the current’s running through me
Like a truth I’ve come to know
(Pre-Chorus)
Every cell is softly listening
Every scar is turning gold
I can feel the past releasing
I don’t have to carry old
(Chorus)
I’m opening, I’m opening
Like the sky after the rain
Every hidden constellation
Spelling beauty from the pain
I’m unfolding, I’m unfolding
There’s a fire in my chest
Not to burn me into nothing
But to show me I am blessed
(Bridge)
If you hear me in the distance
If these notes reach through your night
Let them find the place that’s hurting
Let them fill it up with light
You are more than what you’ve carried
You are more than what has been
There’s a doorway in your breathing
There’s a world beneath your skin
(Outro)
So I sing it into being
Every breath, a sacred art
There is wonder in the healing
There is music in the heart
