[Intro – Spoken over heartbeat + distant bells] I am not the same The mold has broken The mirror has wept and my body…has bloomed I did not make you for the moment for the glance, the passing gaze I made you in the quiet hours where love learns how to stay I am blooming with grace — not despite it all, but because of it I am returning to the bones I know [Verse 1 – Low, rooted, then easing into glow] This belly is not a burden — it is a bowl These thighs are thunder, but they know how to hold My skin remembers every word they tried to erase But I move like the tide now — I move into grace Roses fell before the meaning soft and red without a name They taught my hands how love arrives without asking to be saved Layer by layer, breath by breath I learned what devotion costs Every touch became a promise every letting go, a loss [Chorus – First lift] Beloved you were made to be held Beloved you learned how to tell The difference between glitter and a flame that doesn’t burn I bloom in these bones, I sway in this skin Every line, every scar, every inch is within No shame in this shape, no silence, no stone I rise from the roots — I bloom in these bones [Verse 2 – Deeper rhythm, heart and hips] I wore the war on my waistline for years Tried to hide hunger, tried to flatten the tears But this softness is sacred, this roundness is right I move like a woman who no longer fights Each bauble learned to listen to the weight of being seen Holding warmth without the fire holding story in between The tree stood like a witness not a spectacle or sign Just a place where love could rest when the world ran out of time [Pre-Chorus – Call, response, and release] (Call): They told me shrink (Response): I learned to spin (Call): They told me hide (Response): I let light in Patina over memory hands remembering the way To tend a thing until it’s finished then set it down and walk away (Call): They said “too much” (Response): I said “just right” (Call): They said “fade down” (Response): I rose to sight [Chorus – Bodies + bells, bigger] Beloved you were made to be held Beloved you learned how to tell The difference between sparkle and a vow that stays true I bloom in these bones, I sway in this skin Every roll, every stretch, every beat is a hymn No shame in this shape, no filter, no throne I dance with my breath — I bloom in these bones [Bridge – Groove into glow] This is for the girl in the creek and the woods Who felt beauty before they said she “should” This is for the bathroom stall and the summer pool This is for the woman who forgot she is full BellaVille at the edges lantern light and ringing bells Calling no one in a hurry only saying all is well Petals falling through the silence final warmth before the cold I am standing on the backside with my hands no longer full Let the mirrors crack Let the rules bend Let the bloom begin from the body’s end [Break – Spoken over hush] The love remains The work remains But I am learning how to rest [Final Chorus – Slow swell, entwined] Beloved you were never meant to stay Beloved you showed me the way Now the flame is turning inward winter asking me to tend I bloom in these bones not broken, but grown The flesh is the scroll and I’m coming home Beloved this is not goodbye this is the end I bloom in these bones no exile, no throne Just rhythm and grace and the body I own [Outro – Whispered] I set you down with reverence and let the dark come in I rise from the roots and bloom from within
