The chains I carried finally turned to dust Every lie I told myself has lost its trust I stand here open with no need to hide The world is brighter through these brand new eyes No fear remains no mask no need to pretend I touch my heart and feel the truth again The precious soul I once refused to claim Now shines so bright I cannot feel ashamed Stepping into light I am not afraid Stepping into light the night has been repaid I see myself for what I truly am Precious whole and perfectly imperfect man The dark night taught me what the light could never show Every fracture every tear became the seeds I sow I treat this heart with kindness I deserve to feel I live the truth that only authenticity can heal The self I fought to hide is now the one I love I fit perfectly inside the skin I’m made of No more pretending no more chasing what I’m not I am the story and the story ends on top The war inside me finally laid to rest Every wound I carried now a medal on my chest Stepping into light I am not afraid Stepping into light the night has been repaid I see myself for what I truly am Precious whole and perfectly imperfect man And I am finally who I am
