who we'll become

Intro (Spoken / Half-Rap) Yeah… Funny thing about growing— you gotta let go before you know. Verse 1 (Rap-Folk Blend) I’ve been wearing old stories like jackets in July, Too warm, too tight, but they kept me alive. Every mistake stitched into the seams, Every version of me that I tried to believe. I held on to the names that were carved in my skin, Thought losing them meant I’d lose where I’ve been. But change don’t ask, it just knocks at your door— And you don’t stay small when you’re built for more. Pre-Chorus (Soft Sung / Folk) Yeah, I’m learning to open, Even when I’m afraid— Let the old fall away. Chorus (Indie-Folk Hook) ’Cause the only thing scarier Than knowing who we are Is realizing who we’ll be When we finally drop our guard. When the weight we carried Slips out of our hands— Who am I becoming Without who I’ve been? Verse 2 (Rap) Look— I’ve been running from the mirror like it owed me pain, Dodging every reflection that would show my change. But growth hits quiet, like a breath you forgot, Then suddenly you’re standing in a place you’re not. Who am I if I’m not the hurt I survived? Who am I if I cut loose the ghosts in my mind? It's wild— letting go’s the scariest thing, ‘Cause it means I could become anything. Pre-Chorus (Sung) Yeah, I’m learning to open, Even when I’m afraid— Let the old fall away. Chorus (Full Harmonies) ’Cause the only thing scarier Than knowing who we are Is realizing who we’ll be When we finally drop our guard. When the weight we carried Slips out of our hands— Who am I becoming Without who I’ve been? Bridge (Spoken/Sung Hybrid) Let go… let go… We are roots becoming wind. Let go… let go… We’re unlearning who we’ve been. Final Chorus (More Intimate) Yeah, the only thing scarier Than owning who we are Is trusting who we’re growing into Past the patterns and the scars. When the things that shaped us Fall softly to the floor— Maybe we’re not losing who we were, We’re just becoming something more.
