Backstage Silence

The older I get… The clearer I see… Ain’t afraid of silence no more… That’s where the truth speaks to me… [Verse 1] I used to chase the noise and glitter Runnin’ hard just to belong Everybody talkin’ louder But nobody sayin’ nothin’ strong Now I see behind the curtain See the script behind the show All that fear and all that drama Just another way to control Movies tellin’ me what matters People sellin’ borrowed dreams Small talk floatin’ on the surface But nobody knows what peace means And the older that I’m getting The less I need to prove Found a deeper kind of freedom In the stillness I once refused [Chorus] I woke up to the real Beyond the shine and the illusion Found a higher kind of feelin’ Past confusion and confusion Now my soul can finally breathe I don’t need the world’s approval We’re all waves inside one ocean Connected to the universal And I finally understand Why silence feels so holy The truth was underneath it all Waiting patiently for me [Verse 2] People talk to fill the empty Wear their ego like a crown Buildin’ castles made of image While their spirit’s breaking down But I ain’t angry anymore now Everybody’s learnin’ slow Pain will wake you from the surface Make you search your inner soul I spend my time on what is sacred Love and kindness, peace of mind Morning sunlight, honest laughter Stillness healing me inside And I feel that greater power Flowing through all living things Like the rivers to the ocean We are part of everything [Chorus] I woke up to the real Beyond the shine and the illusion Found a higher kind of feelin’ Past confusion and confusion Now my soul can finally breathe I don’t need the world’s approval We’re all waves inside one ocean Connected to the universal And I finally understand Why silence feels so holy The truth was underneath it all Waiting patiently for me [Bridge] We come here through birth Then return back home again Energy never dies It just changes where it’s been Every heartbeat… every soul… Every whisper in the night Part of one eternal current Part of one eternal light So I let go of the pressure I let go of all the fear And the quieter life becomes The more clearly truth appears [Chorus] I woke up to the real Now I see beneath the surface Ain’t wastin’ time on empty things Only love and only purpose Now my soul can finally rest I found peace inside the silence We’re all waves inside one ocean Moving with divine alignment And I finally understand What this life was trying to show me The truth was underneath it all… And now it’s living inside me… The older I get… The freer I become… One ocean… One soul… One love…
