Thank You For Becoming

(Verse 1) You weren’t perfect when I met you, Just a thought I couldn’t name. A crooked line, a trembling color, Something trying to be brave. I didn’t know what you would teach me, I just knew I had to try— So I held you like a question, And let you change me over time. (Pre-Chorus) You asked for patience, not for proof, You asked for care, not to be right. You didn’t need to shine so hard— You just needed room and light. (Chorus) So thank you for becoming, For not knowing who you’d be. For every wrong turn, every stumble, Every door you opened in me. You weren’t made to be a masterpiece, You were made to help me grow— And every piece I’ve ever made Has taught me something I now know. (Verse 2) Some of you were loud and playful, Some stayed quiet, soft, and small. Some burned bright and vanished early, Some still echo down the hall. You didn’t promise me perfection, You didn’t ask to last forever— You just gave me one more chance To learn how pieces fit together. (Pre-Chorus 2) You showed me what I love to chase, What feels like home inside my chest. You helped me see my edges clearer, And accept the parts that rest. (Chorus) So thank you for becoming, For the courage to begin. For the lessons hidden in the mess, And the joy tucked deep within. You didn’t come to prove my worth, Or make me something new— You came to walk beside me While I figured out what’s true. (Bridge) Not everything must be a triumph, Not every song must stay. Some things exist to teach us Then gently fade away. And I don’t need to mourn you If you’ve already done your part— You live in how I see the world, And how I trust my heart. (Final Chorus) So thank you for becoming, For the space you helped me claim. For showing me that growth can look Like joy, not just like pain. I’ll keep making, softly learning, Letting wonder lead the way— Because every piece I thank tonight Is why I’m here today. (Soft Outro) You don’t owe me greatness… You already gave me growth
