Meet Me Here

Verse 1

I’ve slept beside the ghosts of yesterday,

Learned the language of empty rooms.

Made peace with broken promises,

Watched old gardens lose their bloom.

I carried storms that weren’t mine to carry,

Called survival living for too long.

Now I’m trading chaos for the quiet,

Trying to remember where I belong.

Pre-Chorus

Would my dreams frighten you?

If they grew bigger than this town?

Would you reach for my hand…

Or ask me to slow down?

Chorus

Would you celebrate who I’m becoming?

Or miss the woman I had to leave behind?

The one who carried everyone but herself,

The one who confused love with sacrifice.

Meet me here…

Where peace is louder than the past.

I’m finally learning

I can’t stay small just to make somebody comfortable.

Verse 2

Freedom doesn’t always look like flying.

Sometimes it’s simply learning how to rest.

Walking away from what kept breaking you,

And calling that a kind of yes.

I’ve fallen in love with wild places,

Where nothing asks me to pretend.

The trees never asked me to be smaller.

The ocean only asked me to begin.

Bridge

If you love me,

Love the road beneath my feet.

Love the woman still unfolding,

Not the one who disappeared to keep the peace.

Because I’m returning to myself,

After all these borrowed years.

And she deserves to be welcomed home,

Not handed back her fears.

Final Chorus

Would you celebrate who I’m becoming?

Or mourn the woman I had to leave behind?

She got me here.

I’ll always love her.

But I’m choosing freedom.

I’m choosing healing.

I’m choosing a life that finally fits.

Meet me here…

This is the woman I’m becoming.
