[Verse 1]
I kept a ledger of the days I lost
Folded in a drawer beneath the winter coats
Every page was proof I had not changed
Till I saw my name beneath the blame
[Pre-Chorus]
I can carry what happened without letting it steer
There is room in my chest for a different kind of year
[Chorus]
I am not the wound, I am the hand that heals
Not the locked door, but the turning wheel
If my voice shakes, I’ll let it speak
I’ll build my faith from the ground beneath my feet
I’m still becoming, still becoming me
[Verse 2]
I took the long way past the old café
Where I used to hide the words I couldn’t say
Now I leave one honest sentence on the page
And watch a little courage take its shape
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need a perfect heart to start again
I only need to meet myself as a friend
[Chorus]
I am not the wound, I am the hand that heals
Not the locked door, but the turning wheel
If my voice shakes, I’ll let it speak
I’ll build my faith from the ground beneath my feet
I’m still becoming, still becoming me
[Bridge]
Let the old fear keep its throne of dust
I have found a steadier thing to trust
One small promise, kept tonight
Can turn a room from dark to light
[Final Chorus]
I am not the wound, I am the hand that heals
Not the locked door, but the turning wheel
If my voice shakes, I’ll let it speak
I’ll build my faith from the ground beneath my feet
I’m still becoming, still becoming me
I’m still becoming, and I believe in me
[Outro]
One small promise
One brave breath
I am here
And I am not finished yet
