[Verse 1] You saw me before you knew how Like a memory wrapped in future tense I smiled through your sacred eyebrows Felt the yes beneath your defense [Verse 2] You didn’t say the right thing — you sang it Like we wrote it on some other plane I didn’t know how to language it But my fash-uh remembered your name [Chorus] Soul first, then skin — that’s how I let you in You touched me without touching, you knew me within Before the roles, before the form You met me in the storm — and made it warm [Verse 3] We weren’t perfect, but we were perfect The mirror had no shame Your gaze gave me my voice back You saw my light without a name [Chorus] Soul first, then skin — that’s how I let you in You touched me without touching, you knew me within Before the rules, before the fear You met me as I am — and stayed right here [Bridge – gospel swell, call & response feel] Recognize my resonance (I do, I do) Witness me in all dimensions (come through, come through) I’m not a test, I’m not a trial I’m the one who makes it worthwhile [Outro] You saw me before you knew how And I remember you now
