[Verse 1 — Dawn / Soft Light] There was a morning I didn’t expect, where the dark didn’t follow me home. No loud arrival, no thunder or sign — just a quiet that felt like my own. I thought I’d carry the weight forever, like winter that wouldn’t release — but something shifted without permission, and the ground gave way to peace. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — Breath Expands] I didn’t force it. I didn’t fight. It came like air returning to life. ⸻ [Chorus — Joy Without Noise] I am still here — and something’s changed. The light came back but not the same. I’m not who I was when I broke apart — there’s something alive inside my heart. I am unbroken. I am becoming. And I can feel what’s coming. ⸻ [Verse 2 — The World Opens] The trees didn’t ask if I was ready, they just reached back into the sky. The river didn’t question its rising — it just kept moving, so did I. There’s a joy that doesn’t rush or shout, it doesn’t need to be seen — it lives in the space where fear let go, and something new stepped in between. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — Warmer Now] I didn’t chase it. I didn’t run. It found me standing in the sun. ⸻ [Chorus — Wider, Brighter] I am still here — and something’s new. The sky looks different breaking through. I’m not returning to who I’ve been — I’m stepping forward and letting it in. I am unbroken. I am becoming. And I can feel what’s coming. ⸻ [Bridge — Truth] (spoken or lightly sung, grounded, joyful without force) Nothing was wasted. Nothing was lost. Even the silence was part of the cost. But life has a way of rising unseen — not where it ended, but in between. I didn’t come back the way they expected — I came back alive. ⸻ [Final Chorus — Joy That Knows] I am still here — and I can see the life that was waiting for me. Not far away, not someday soon — it’s in this breath, it’s in this room. I am unbroken. I am becoming. And I can feel — the future coming. ⸻ [Outro — Light Held Softly] It’s already here.
