Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I walk like water over stone Nothing sharp beneath my feet I don’t carry storms inside me I don’t brace when I breathe There’s a calm that lives in my body Like the tide was built in me I didn’t learn it through drowning It was given quietly Pre-Chorus Some call it luck Some say I’m strong I call it love That held the current long Chorus Because you were there The waves don’t pull me under I don’t mistake chaos For something I must conquer Because you were there The shoreline feels like home I don’t wake up surviving I wake up whole Verse 2 I see the depth of the ocean But it doesn’t steal my breath I know how to feel without folding I know how to rest The undertow doesn’t know me It doesn’t speak my name I get to choose how I’m moving Without carrying the rain Bridge (very soft) You stood where the current broke You let the storm pass through I didn’t have to grow armored To learn how to be true Final Chorus (almost whispered harmony) Because you were there The water feels kind I don’t live bracing For what’s behind Because you were there Peace feels real I don’t fear the stillness I know how to feel Outro I move free Not because I forgot But because you calmed the tide
