Why do I run like the wind in my veins, Feet barely touching the ground? Why do I breathe like I’m never in pain, While others are falling down? I don’t get tired, I don’t get weak, My pulse won’t slow, my heart won’t speak… And every day, I feel it more — Something’s knocking on my door. And Jakin looks at me like he knows, Like he’s guarding something close. How could he know my mother’s eyes, Or the way her laughter dies? It’s like he’s been here all along… But where do I belong? There’s something changing in me, Something wild I can’t see. Every breath, every step that I take, Feels like the world’s about to break. I don’t know what I’ll find, But I can’t stop the tide inside. Something’s waking up in me… And it scares me what that means. The mirror shows a face I know, But my eyes—they start to glow. The girl I was is slipping through, And I don’t know what to do. Every secret he won’t share, Burns like fire in the air. If he’s right, and I can’t hide… What am I, on the inside? My hands are shaking, my heart’s too loud, I feel the storm beneath the clouds. I’m terrified of what’s to come, But maybe it’s what I’m made from. There’s something changing in me, Something wild I can’t see. Every breath, every beat, every tear, Pulls me closer to what’s near. I don’t know what I’ll find, But I can’t turn back this time. Something’s waking up in me… And it scares me what that means. Maybe I was meant to run, Maybe I was born undone. Maybe Mom knew what I’d be — Something more than I can see. Jakin’s eyes, they hold the truth, But I’m not ready for that proof… There’s something changing in me, Something calling to be free. Every shadow, every scar, Leads me closer to who we are. I don’t know what I’ll find, But I’ll face the dark this time. Something’s waking up in me… And I know I’ll never be… The same.
