The Woman She Became Verse 1 The child crouched behind the stove, Holding silence like a prayer. Believing she could disappear, Thinking no one saw her there. She carried all her questions, Packed tightly in her soul. Imagining rescue had come to find her, Trusting she would one day be known. Pre-Chorus Time became a trusted teacher, Prayer met each new day. What she couldn’t know as a child Was Love was on its way, Slowly making space. Chorus Now the woman she became Has words that little girl never knew. She has faith to light the darkness, And strength to walk it through. Each time those shadows call, She doesn’t turn and shut the door. She opens a window of wonder And whispers, “We are safe.” At last, she’s fully seen— By the woman she became. Verse 2 Fear may knock or gently nudge, Old alarms still sometimes ring. Yet they no longer tell her story, No longer write the ending. She whispers through the tears, Holding every fragile fear. Love bathes her trembling heart, And together they grow strong. Bridge I didn’t have to know the reason. I don’t have to earn my place. I can hold the story that’s within me With unhurried, patient grace. The hands that reached out for rescue Now reach back through all time, Gathering every fractured memory, Bringing each one into the Light. Final Chorus Now the woman she became Has hope her younger self couldn’t see. She has a language for the silence, She has the space to simply be. Every time those old winds whisper, “Hide away…” Love answers, warm and certain, “I’m here, and I will stay.” At last, she’s fully seen. At last, she’s fully loved. At last, she’s finally home— In the woman she became. Outro She spent a lifetime Searching for a safe place. Today she’s come to know She has become that sacred space.
