WOD: Power

V5.5

[Intro] Ohhh yeah yeah Department of Gentle tonight Gentle Grid online Mm-mm-mm [Verse 1] I used to think power meant Never slowing down Keep the lights on, keep smiling Even when I drown Running on caffeine Running on fear Trying to hold the whole city While the storm in my head still here But the body keeps talking Static in my chest Every time I pushed harder I was begging for rest Now I’m learning softly What my spirit needs Even little moments Can restore the energy [Pre-Chorus] Maybe power ain’t control Maybe power is the soul Finding ways to breathe again Even when the grid gets low [Chorus] Where does your power come from? Tell me where your light begins Is it music, is it sunlight? Safe hearts, quiet rooms, good friends? We don’t gotta burn forever Just to prove we strong enough Even power plants need resting Gentle still powerful, my love [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh Recharge slowly Oh-oh-oh You still worthy Oh-oh-oh Even low battery Still got light in you [Verse 2] Some days I’m lightning Some days I’m rain Some days my nervous system Buffering again Humans not machines Humans not switches Some of us surviving life One tiny spoon at a distance So if your world goes dark Temporary outage That don’t mean you lazy That just mean overloaded And “Sí Se Puede” Hits different now Power means “to be able” That’s enough somehow [Pre-Chorus] Maybe power ain’t force Maybe healing is the source Every time I rest my heart I restore a little more [Chorus] Where does your power come from? Tell me where your light begins Is it laughter, is it dancing? Tiny joys and strange little things? We don’t gotta break our bodies Just to earn the right to pause Even stars burn out without rest Gentle is not weakness at all [Bridge] Citizens advised tonight Please recharge responsibly Emotional brownouts possible During periods of people pleasing Take your time Breathe real slow You are not a broken home You’re a grid that needs some care Not another war to hold [Final Chorus] Where does your power come from? Maybe now you finally know Not from fear and not from pressure But from learning to go slow Even candles change the darkness Even soft hearts carry heat And the lights come back much brighter When the system gets to sleep [Outro] Oh-oh-oh Gentle Grid online Oh-oh-oh We gon’ be alright Oh-oh-oh Tiny lights still shine Mm-mm-mm
