Brighter Colors Again

Verse 1 I’ve been walking through the weather With old storms in my skin Trying to teach my tired heart How to feel safe again Decades in the making One breath, one day, one prayer I was lost inside the static Now I’m learning to care Therapy cracked the window Rehab opened up the door I found my body in the silence Hanging weightless from the floor And somewhere in the healing With my feet above the ground I remembered I was worthy Of the peace I never found Pre-Chorus Now the sky don’t look so heavy And the light don’t feel so far I can see the child inside me Still reaching for the stars Chorus I see brighter colors again Like the world was washed in rain I see wonder in the morning I see softness through the pain Can we sit across the table Without needing to be right? Can we honor all our differences And still hold on to the light? I’m returning, I’m returning To the place my soul began Full of wonder, full of mercy Seeing brighter colors again Verse 2 I built a family out of spirit Not by blood, but by trust Hands that held me through the breaking Never turned my truth to dust I’ve learned love is not agreement It’s a room where we can breathe Where your story can sit beside mine Without asking mine to leave We’ve all got different wiring Different wounds behind our eyes But the heart can learn a language When we stop rehearsing sides So speak to me with kindness I’ll listen when you do There’s a bridge between our battles If I make space for you Pre-Chorus I’ve still got a lifetime’s learning Still got shadows I must face But I’m not who I was yesterday And that is holy grace Bridge Let the children in us speak Before the fear becomes a wall Let the innocent remember There is room enough for all You don’t have to match my footsteps I don’t have to wear your scars But we can meet in understanding Underneath the same bright stars No more shame around the questions No more war inside the words Let us listen like it matters Let the quiet truth be heard Final Chorus I see brighter colors again Like my eyes have learned to heal I see magic in the ordinary I can trust the way I feel Can we sit across the table With our hearts open wide? Can we learn the sacred difference Between defending and being kind? I’m returning, I’m returning To the place my soul began Full of wonder, full of mercy Seeing brighter colors again Outro I’ve taken a lifetime to get here Still got a lifetime to grow But I’m walking back to innocence And I’m finally coming home
