Lyrics
LOOK AT THAT OLD TREE ON THE EDGE OF THE RAVEN.
IT DOESN'T CELEBRATE WHEN SPRING ARRIVES,
IT DOESN'T ROAR WHEN AUTUMN SHRODS ITS LEAVES.
IT IS SILENT. ITS ROOTS EMBRACE THE EARTH DEEPER,
REALIZED THAT STRENGTH DOESN'T LIVE IN THE LUSH OF ITS BRANCHES, BUT IN THE SOLIDITY OF ITS FOUNDATION IN THE DEEP EARTH.
[VERSE.2] :
NOW, I AM THE SAME...
BEING WHOLE MEANS UNDERSTANDING LIMITS.
KNOWING WHEN TO STEP AHEAD, KNOWING WHEN TO STOP.
NO LONGER FORCING YOUR WILL ON FATE,
BUT ENGAGING IN A CALM DIALOGUE WITH UNCERTAINTY.
[BRIDGE] :
MATURITY IS WHEN ANGER TURNS INTO UNDERSTANDING,
AND DISAPPOINTMENT TURNS INTO SPACE FOR LEARNING.
I AM WHOLE, IN A COOL SILENCE.
[PRE- CHORUS] :
I AM CALM, MATURE, AND AWARE,
THAT SELF-LOVE IS NOT SELFISHNESS,
BUT A FOUNDATION TO STAY STEADFAST,
WHEN THE STORM COMES UNWINDED.
[INTERLUDE] :
[MUSIC PAUSES FOR A BREATH] :
[BRIDGE] :
I FOUND THE CRACKS OF THE PAST,
I RESEAL THEM NOT WITH GOLD,
BUT WITH ACCEPTANCE.
WOUNDS ARE NO LONGER HIDDEN,
BUT RECOGNIZED AS TRACES OF THE JOURNEY.
I AM CALM, MATURE, AND AWARE,
THAT SELF-LOVE IS NOT SELFISHNESS,
BUT A FOUNDATION TO STAY STEADFAST,
WHEN THE STORM COMES UNWINDED.
[VERSE. 3] :
I HAVE FINISHED THE SEARCHING PLAY,
FOUNDING THAT THE BEST ARRANGING IS IN MY OWN CHEST.
THE INTITUDE WAS TURNED OUT TO BE SILENT,
NOT NOISY, NOT JUMPING FOR JOY,
BUT SITTING RELAXED, HUGGING HER KNEES,
AND WHISPERING, "THANK YOU FOR ENDURING."
[CHORUS] :
I AM CALM, MATURE, AND AWARE,
THAT SELF-LOVE IS NOT SELFISHNESS,
BUT A FOUNDATION TO STAY STEADFAST,
WHEN THE STORM COMES UNWINDED.
[MUSIC PAUSES FOR A BREATH] :
[FINAL-CHORUS] :
I AM CALM, MATURE, AND AWARE,
THAT SELF-LOVE IS NOT SELFISHNESS,
BUT A FOUNDATION TO STAY STEADFAST,
WHEN THE STORM COMES UNWINDED.
[OUTRO]:
I FOUND THE CRACKS OF THE PAST,
I RESEAL THEM NOT WITH GOLD,
BUT WITH ACCEPTANCE.
WOUNDS ARE NO LONGER HIDDEN,
BUT RECOGNIZED AS TRACES OF THE JOURNEY.
I AM CALM, MATURE, AND AWARE,
THAT SELF-LOVE IS NOT SELFISHNESS,
BUT A FOUNDATION TO STAY STEADFAST,
WHEN THE STORM COMES UNWINDED.
