SOVEREIGN SKIN Verse 1: I walked through the fire with my name in my mouth, carried every shadow till the truth pulled them out. I learned how to rise with my hands on my chest, found the part of me that never needed to be blessed. Pre-Chorus: And I don’t bow to the echoes anymore. I don’t bleed for the ghosts at my door. Chorus: I’m standing in my sovereign skin, whole where I was breaking then. I’m not who I was, I’m not who I’ve been— I’m the woman who learned how to live again. I’m crowned in the quiet, reborn in the truth, I’m sovereign now— and I’m stepping through. Verse 2: I held every memory till it softened its teeth, turned every ending into something I could breathe. I stitched my spirit back with the thread of my name, rose from the ruin without carrying the blame. Pre-Chorus: And I don’t bend for the past anymore. I don’t open old, unholy doors. Chorus: I’m standing in my sovereign skin, whole where I was breaking then. I’m not who I was, I’m not who I’ve been— I’m the woman who learned how to live again. I’m crowned in the quiet, reborn in the truth, I’m sovereign now— and I’m stepping through. Bridge: Every version of me that I buried in fear is rising beside me, whispering: You’re here. Not broken, not borrowed, not bound by the past— you’re the woman who finally came home at last. Final Chorus: I’m standing in my sovereign skin, whole where I was breaking then. I’m not who I was, I’m not who I’ve been— I’m the woman who learned how to live again. I’m crowned in the quiet, reborn in the truth, I’m sovereign now— and I’m stepping through. Outro: This is the end of the book, but the beginning of me. I’m sovereign now— and I’m finally free.
