Where I Began

[Intro – soft, lullaby-like, almost whispered] Hush now, don’t you run so far You were whole just as you are Before the world could change your name Do you remember where you began? [Verse 1] Barefoot roads and open skies Dust and dreams in younger eyes Didn’t know what life would mean But everything felt evergreen Mama’s voice in evening light Calling me back home at night No rush, no race, no need to prove Just a heart that learned to move [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I didn’t know back then Those simple days would shape me [Chorus] Take me back, not to stay Just to feel who I was that day Before the noise, before the fight Before I learned to chase the light I’ve come so far, I understand Every step, every broken plan Led me here, helped me stand But I remember where I began [Verse 2] City lights and crowded trains Different dreams, different pains Learned to stand, learned to fall Learned I couldn’t have it all But in the silence, I still hear Echoes of a voice so clear Not telling me who I should be Just reminding me I’m free [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I carry it within That quiet kind of clarity [Chorus] Take me back, not to stay Just to feel who I was that day Before the doubts, before the climb Before I measured worth in time I’ve come so far, I understand Every loss was not the end It shaped my soul, helped me stand Still connected to where I began [Bridge – emotional lift, airy vocal layers] Ohhh… I don’t need to go back To move forward again Ohhh… I just need to remember Who I’ve always been [Final Chorus – fuller instrumentation] Take me back, not to stay Just to light a softer way Through the noise, through the fight Back into my truest light I’ve come so far, I understand There was never a master plan Just a heart, a guiding hand Leading me from where I began [Outro – soft, lullaby fade] Hush now, don’t you run so far You are enough just as you are
