[Intro] I spent years Mistaking survival for living Building rooms inside myself To hide the pieces that hurt Every version of me Had something to say The warrior ,the wounded child The woman who kept smiling While her heart quietly cracked And somewhere beneath all that noise The temple waited [Verse 1] Outside world pulling But everybody got opinions Everybody got directions For a road they never walked Everybody got a mirror Trying to show me who to be Till I couldn't hear my own voice Underneath the talking I carried old stories Like heirlooms in my bloodstream Ancient fears wrapped around my ribs Like vines around a sacred tree Every disappointment Built another wall Every betrayal Added in another lock Till I forgot I was the one holding the key [Pre-Chorus] Slow down Hand on heart Listen The answer isn't running It's remembering [Chorus] Return to the temple Back to the flame Back to the place That still remembers my name Return to the temple Back to the throne The world can be loud But my spirit still knows home [Verse 2] The protector says fight The healer says rest The dreamer keeps pointing Toward horizons I ain't touched yet The little girl whispers Are we safe now The wise woman smiles Baby Look around We're safe now. Every voice inside me Was born from a lesson Every scar became a scripture Every wound became a blessing I don't have to exile The versions of me that survived I just have to remind them The Queen has arrived [Chorus] Return to the temple Back to the flame Back to the place That still remembers my name Return to the temple Back to the throne The world can be loud But my spirit still knows home [Bridge] Moon above me Ocean below me Ancestors behind me Creator within me Fear may visit But it cannot reign Doubt may whisper But it cannot reign Because the woman I became Walked through fire To remember her own name [Final Chorus] Return to the temple Back to the flame Back to the woman Before the hurt and the shame Return to the temple Back to the light The storm still exists But it no longer controls my sky Return to the temple Return to the flame Return to the center Return to my name [Outro] Not becoming Remembering Not searching Returning The journey was never outward The temple was always within
