🎶 LYRICS — What If (The Gate Is Here) Verse 1 I’ve been walking with a pocket of questions Through valleys of almost and more Every horizon keeps making me promises Every promise becomes another door I was taught to travel by leaving By turning my face from the flame By carrying my life like a rumor Instead of a name ⸻ Pre-Chorus I’ve been living like love is a kingdom With a long guarded gate ⸻ Chorus But what if… What if I loved myself as I am? Not when I’m wiser Not when I’m brave Not when I finally understand What if… What if I stayed on my own side? What if I let my life Meet me where I am? ⸻ Verse 2 What if my body is not a problem But a river that knows my name What if rest is a form of remembering Not something I earn or explain What if I’m not behind at all now What if I’m right on time What if becoming is just another word For learning to be kind ⸻ Pre-Chorus I’ve been running like time is a judge With a bell and a blade ⸻ Chorus But what if… What if I loved myself as I am? Not when I’m lighter Not when I’m strong Not when I have a plan What if… What if I stayed on my own side? What if I let my life Meet me where I am? ⸻ Bridge (Short, Luminous) What if the gate I’ve been walking toward Is this breath, this place? ⸻ Final Chorus (Repeat / Bigger) What if… What if I loved myself as I am? Not when I’m finished Not when I’m crowned Not when I finally understand What if… What if I stayed on my own side? What if I let my life Meet me where I am? ⸻ Outro (Optional) Maybe love is not something I reach Maybe it’s something I allow
