Satya in My Bones (Staying Awake)

Invocation (Soft Chant / Opening) ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं Om purnamadah purnamidam From wholeness I came, to wholeness I run Let me remember who I am Verse 1 Morning light on Lakeview Road Three dogs breathing, heart feels old Coffee cooling, news still lies Another headline, another disguise I’ve loved too hard, I’ve stayed too long Learned the cost of being strong Built a life with cracked foundations Paid in patience and explanations Pre-Chorus They say, “Let it go, don’t think so deep” But conscience doesn’t know how to sleep Chorus (Bhajan Style Call & Response) Satya… satya… in my bones Truth is calling me back home Maya whispers, “Just comply” But my soul won’t live a lie Satya… satya… in my breath Truth in love and truth in death Not here to scream, not here to run Just here to stand in what is one Verse 2 Boardrooms, dashboards, KPIs Pretty charts that still tell lies Data tells a story, sure But hearts decide what we ignore I’ve watched good people close their eyes Trade their courage for “just survive” Uniforms and wedding rings Promises that don’t mean things Pre-Chorus They call it peace, I call it fear When silence costs us everything dear Chorus Satya… satya… in my bones Truth is calling me back home Maya whispers, “Don’t make waves” But I’m done being quietly brave Satya… satya… in my breath Truth in love and truth in death I’d rather lose than sell my name I’d rather feel than numb the pain Bridge (Gita / Watts / Awakening) Krishna said, “Do what is yours Release the prize, release the score” Alan laughed, “You are the dance Stop mistaking fear for chance” Wave in water, flame in fire Marriage, mother, dreamer, fighter Every role I’ve worn so tight Falls away in honest light Chant Interlude ॐ शान्ति शान्ति शान्तिः Om shanti shanti shantih Peace in chaos, peace in war Peace in knowing I am more Verse 3 (Very Personal) Philippines across the sea Children growing without me Love that asks, love that takes Lines I draw for my own sake Hot showers that never last Lessons from the broken past Post-nups, plans, repair and mend Learning where I truly bend Pre-Chorus Not bitter, not resigned Just finally choosing mine Final Chorus (Lift / Full Bhajan) Satya… satya… in my bones Every road has led me home Not perfection, not a saint Just a woman wide awake Satya… satya… in my veins Truth in pleasure, truth in pain If this world forgets its way I’ll remember every day Outro (Quiet / Mantra Fade) Om purnamadah purnamidam I was never incomplete From the storm back to the sun From the many back to One Satya… Satya… Satya…
