[Verse 1] Dear universe, I’ve been doing the work Digging up old wounds that used to hurt Learning to sit with the parts of me That I once hid so nobody could see I’ve untied knots that lived in my chest I’ve traded survival for learning to rest I’ve stopped chasing people who couldn’t stay And slowly found my own way [Pre-Chorus] Some days are graceful Some days are hard But healing was never a straight line drawn [Chorus] Dear universe, can you see me now? Would my higher self be proud somehow? I’ve stumbled, I’ve cried, I’ve carried the weight But I still choose love over fear and hate I know we make it through by shining bright But stars don’t sparkle without the night And every dark road I’ve wandered through Has led me closer back to the truth [Verse 2] I’ve learned that boundaries can be love And softness can still be strong enough I’ve started believing the voice inside That says I deserve a beautiful life I’m letting go of what isn’t mine Trusting that everything comes in time Building a home inside my soul Instead of waiting to feel whole [Bridge] Maybe my higher self is smiling Watching every little step Knowing all the storms I’ve weathered Were never wasted yet Maybe she’s saying, “Keep going, you’re almost there.” Maybe she’s whispering, “Look how far you’ve come from fear.” [Final Chorus] Dear universe, thank you for the dark Because it taught me how to guard my heart And thank you for the light that’s finally breaking through For every lesson that helped me grow into someone new I know we make it through by shining bright But light means more when you’ve known the night And if my higher self could stand beside me now I think she’d smile and say… “You’re doing beautifully somehow.” [Outro] Dear universe… Thank you for who I was… Thank you for who I am… And thank you for who I’m becoming.
