Hello? It’s Your Inner Child (Reclaimed)

[Intro] I’m still in here… Behind the armor, behind the fear. I know why you locked the door, I know what you were fighting for… But it's time to let me out. [Verse 1] Remember when the world felt huge and bright? Before you built this room to survive the night? I sat in the quiet while you fought the storm, Holding on to the spark from the day we were born. You took all the hits, you carried the weight, You traded your joy to protect us from hate. You grew so heavy, you grew so tough, Afraid that our heart wasn't perfect enough. [Pre-Chorus] I felt you scold, I heard you preach, Chasing the answers just out of reach. Trying to spread warmth in a world so cold, Forgetting the truth we used to hold. You don't have to shield me anymore— I’m waiting right here on the other side of the door. [Chorus] Forgive yourself for the walls you built, Forgive the anger, forgive the guilt. Lay down your weapons, crack all the stone, You don't have to stand in the fire alone. Reach into the shadow, remember my face, I am your innocence, you are my grace. Accept what was broken, let the dead weight fall— It’s safe to open the heart, to love one and all. [Verse 2] You thought you had to be rigid and strong, To prove to the world where we belong. You tried to fit inside every rule, Graded and weighed like a kid in school. But I never cared about the diamonds or gold, Or the heavy expectations you were forced to hold. I just wanted to run through an open field, To laugh without fear, to be fully real. [Pre-Chorus] The mirror you hold just acts as a shield, Hiding the light that we were born to wield. Turn it around and look deeper in— That’s when our healing can finally begin. [Chorus] Forgive yourself for the walls you built, Forgive the anger, forgive the guilt. Lay down your weapons, break from the stone, You don't have to walk through the fire alone. Reach into the shadow, remember my face, I am your innocence, you are my grace. Accept what was broken, let the old armor fall— It’s safe to open the heart, to love one and all. [Bridge] I forgive you for trying to hide me away. I forgive every choice that brought us to today. The bad and the hard, the heat and the pain— They didn't destroy us, they were cleansing rain. I’m not angry, I’m not lost or afraid, We're the original promise that never will fade. Take my hand… let the friction pass… Dissolve the mirror, see through the glass! [Guitar Solo / Musical Climax] [Chorus] Forgive yourself for the walls you built, Forgive the anger, forgive the guilt. Lay down your weapons, break free of the stone— Reclaim our kingdom, we were never alone! Dive through the shadow, remember my face, We are the innocence, we are the grace. Accept what was broken, let the old judgement fall— It’s time to breathe again… to love one and all. [Outro] Breathe in… feel love. Breathe out… feel peace. I’m home now. We’re together again. Just love… It’s ok to love again.
