Light On My Skin

mmm…

like sunrise on my skin…

yeah…

Woke up with a quiet kind of brightness in my chest,

Didn’t know I needed healing ’til the light said I was blessed.

Tiny little moments that I used to overlook

feel like photographs of heaven that I never stopped to look.

I used to chase the sky like it owed me something real,

but now the smallest bit of sunshine tells me how to feel.

Life was heavy… but it’s lighter than it’s been—

guess I found the reason in the light on my skin.

Ooh, I didn’t know that I was breaking,

’till I saw myself awaken.

Every shadow rearranging—

gold threads in the spaces between.

I feel golden, golden,

like the world just opened.

Like the sun said “hold this,”

and placed it in my hands.

I feel golden, golden,

like I’m finally chosen—

to live a life I don’t have to

run from again.

Yeah, I feel golden.

Walking through the city like I’m dreaming while awake,

Every reflection feels like proof of every step I had to take.

People passing by me with their headphones and their plans—

and somehow I’m connected

to every stranger where they stand.

I used to lose myself in noise I couldn’t understand,

but peace grew in the cracks like it was waiting for a chance.

And maybe I’m not perfect—

but I’m brighter than I’ve been…

with every touch of sunlight on my skin.

Ooh, I didn’t know I could be healing,

’till I saw what I was feeling.

Now the dark is disappearing—

soft gold in the space where I breathe.

I feel golden, golden,

like the world just opened.

Like the sun said “hold this,”

and placed it in my hands.

I feel golden, golden,

like I’m finally chosen—

to live a life I won’t ever

hide from again.

Yeah, I feel golden.

Maybe I was waiting

for this light to find me first.

Maybe I was breaking

just to bloom beyond the hurt.

And now I’m standing where the sun feels like a friend…

letting every warm breath

fill me up again.

I feel golden, golden,

like the weight has folded.

Like the light I wanted

found me in the end.

Golden, golden,

on my skin and in my pulse and—

I swear I’ll never let this feeling

go again.

Yeah… I feel golden.
