REMEMBERING IN THE BODY
(Verse 1 – airy, intimate)
The funny thing is
I was never not spirit in a body
I don’t integrate it
I forget it
And then I remember again
It’s not about becoming whole
It’s waking up
To what’s always been here
⸻
(Pre-Chorus – gentle lift)
I fall asleep to myself
In the quiet ways
Not the loud ones
The subtle pulling away
Calling it discipline
Calling it growth
Calling it goodness
While I leave my own skin
⸻
(Chorus – mantra, repeatable)
I remember in the body
I remember in the breath
I remember what’s been holding me
I remember what’s left
I remember in the body
I remember, I return
I remember what is kind to me
I remember, I learn
⸻
(Verse 2 – reflective, softened)
I learned to confuse kind and nice
So many of us did
Nice says behave and you’ll be chosen
Nice stays small so it can fit
Nice performs
Nice waits
Nice hopes love comes as a prize
But kind is honest
Kind listens
Kind never leaves me behind
⸻
(Pre-Chorus 2 – quieter, grounded)
Kind doesn’t give me everything I want
But it stays
It stays
It stays
⸻
(Chorus – fuller)
I remember in the body
I remember what is true
Not what’s easy
Not what’s perfect
Just what moves me through
I remember in the body
I remember how to stay
When the signal gets confusing
I don’t turn away
⸻
(Bridge – spacious, devotional)
I thought the body and the soul
Were pulling opposite directions
That one had to be silenced
For something higher to win
But wholeness isn’t built on rejection
Union isn’t earned through force
I move toward experience
I listen more
I stay
⸻
(Break – minimal, whispered or looped)
Not collapse
Not control
Just willingness
Just willingness
⸻
(Outro / Final Chorus – dissolving)
And when I forget
When I go numb
When I go rigid
When I fall asleep again
I don’t punish
I remember
I offer it back
Body
Spirit
Desire
Surrender
All of it
All of it
The remembering is the practice
The remembering is the way
And I begin again
And I begin again
As many times as it takes
