🌑 INTRO (Soft piano + warm guitar)
Yeah…
Some people get love late in life.
Some learn it the hard way.
But some of us…
we were raised by it.
Before we even knew what it was.
⸻
🔥 HOOK (Chorus)
She was love before I knew the word,
Held my heart even when it hurt.
Carried hope in the places life blurred—
Yeah, she was love before I knew the word.
Through every storm, every shadow I walked through,
She stood tall so I could too.
If the world forgot who I was worth…
She reminded me first.
She was love before I knew the word.

🎸 VERSE 1
She woke up early just to make the day soft,
Turned a small little meal into somethin’ we could count on.
Worked two jobs and never let it show,
Smiled through the weight no one else would ever know.
She patched my clothes and my broken pride,
Told me the truth, didn’t let me hide.
And when life tried to bend me ’til I broke,
She was the voice that steadied my soul.
⸻
🔥 HOOK (Chorus)
She was love before I knew the word,
Held my heart even when it hurt.
Carried hope in the places life blurred—
Yeah, she was love before I knew the word.
Through every storm, every shadow I walked through,
She stood tall so I could too.
If the world forgot who I was worth…
She reminded me first.
She was love before I knew the word.
⸻
🌅 BRIDGE (Melodic / Tear-jerker moment)
And now when life gets heavy,
I hear her in my chest—
“Baby, breathe… keep your head up,
You were made for more than this.”
Her strength became my roadmap,
Her heart became my guide—
Every win I’m chasin’ now
Started with her fight.
⸻
🔥 FINAL HOOK (Chorus + Outro)
She was love before I knew the word,
Held my heart even when it hurt.
Carried hope in the places life blurred—
Yeah, she was love before I knew the word.
And if someday my voice don’t sound as strong…
Her love will carry on.
’Cause everything good in me came from her—
My first teacher, my first prayer,
My first truth ever heard…
Yeah…
She was love
Before I knew
The word.
Fade out… soft piano + humming gospel harmony.
