Before We Came

Verse 1

Before we came here, we were only light

Choosing every color we would one day call “our life”

We circled round a map of time and space

Pointing at the moments we agreed to face

We said “Give me joy that makes my chest explode

Give me nights so dark I question every road”

“Give me love that cracks my heart in two

So I remember I am more than what I’m walking through”

Pre-Chorus

We didn’t come for perfect, we came here to feel

To learn that every shadow can still lead us back to what is real

Chorus

This life is a school, not a prison, not a test

Just a classroom for the soul to put its courage to the rest

Love and hate, happiness and pain

All of it a language teaching us to rise again

We came here to expand, to remember we are free

To find the power deep inside that keeps us all in unity

Before we came here, we already knew

How good this life could be… now we’re remembering the truth

Verse 2

Every broken heart, every slammed door

Was a lesson we signed up for long before

Every friend, every stranger on the street

Is another piece of us we promised someday we would meet

We came to taste anger so we’d recognize grace

To feel utter loneliness then find a hand to chase

To laugh until we’re crying, to cry until we heal

To finally understand that all of it is real

Pre-Chorus

And when it gets too heavy and we forget why we came

Life sends us little mirrors, calling out our hidden name

Chorus

This world is a school, not a sentence, not a curse

Just a sacred place to walk each blessing in reverse

Good and bad, loss and gain

All of it a river carving wisdom through the brain

We came here to expand, to remember we are free

To find the power deep inside that keeps us all in unity

Before we came here, we already knew

How deep this life could go… now we’re living that truth

Bridge

What if every tear was ink upon your soul contract?

What if every “wrong turn” still led you to the path?

What if every time your heart broke open wide

It was just another doorway to the love you hold inside?

Final Chorus

This life is a school, and you’re doing just fine

There are no real failures in a classroom built of time

Love and hate, happy, sad

None of it is wrong, it’s just experience we’ve had

We came here to expand, to remember we are free

To feel the thread from heart to heart, the quiet “you and me”

Before we came here, we already knew

We are more than flesh and bone… and we will make it
