INTRO (soft, intimate) Mm…
I was quiet for a reason.
Had to hear myself again.
VERSE 1
I disappeared in the noise
Tryna be what the world wanted
Smiled when I was empty
Paid in pieces of my spirit
Gave grace till I was hollow
Called it love, called it patience
Lost my name in the mirror
Just reflections of expectations
PRE-CHORUS (lift, clarity)
Then I got still
Stopped explainin’
Heard my voice through the silence
It said—
CHORUS (anthem, confident but calm)
I found me
Under all that weight
I found me
When I walked away
No applause, no permission
Just truth in my veins
I don’t chase, I align
I was never behind
I found me
VERSE 2
I been bending, been shrinking
So the room could stay comfortable
Held the world on my shoulders
While forgetting I’m valuable
Now my “no” sound like power
My peace cost too much to play with
If I’m glowing it’s earned
Every scar still sacred
PRE-CHORUS
I don’t need to be seen
I’m rooted
I don’t need to be loud
I’m chosen
CHORUS
I found me
In the fire, in the fall
I found me
When I stopped giving all
Of my soul to the doubt
To the fear, to the pain
I don’t fold, I remember my name
I found me
BRIDGE (spoken / mantra — signature HVENLY moment)
Head down.
Hands busy.
Heart clean.
Spirit heavy.
I don’t prove.
I don’t chase.
I don’t rush what’s meant for me.
(beat drop)
FINAL CHORUS (full anthem)
I found me
Now I move like I know
I found me
Now I stand in my glow
If they slept, let ’em dream
I’m awake, I’m aligned
This ain’t luck, this is time
I found me
OUTRO (soft, victorious)
Wasn’t lost…
Just becoming.
