Name It Out Loud

Lyrics

Lyrics: Breathe in Breathe out Yeah Sometimes peace don’t come from running Sometimes peace come from telling the truth I feel it I name it Then I rise I been fighting wars nobody seen on my face Had a smile on my mouth with my heart out of place Mind moving fast, body stuck in defense Trying to heal from pain that never made sense I used to say I’m good when I knew I was lying Laughing through pressure, whole soul steady crying But now I’m learning I ain’t weak when I speak Naming what I feel put the power back in me I say I feel anxious, but I’m not in danger I feel angry, but I won’t become a stranger I feel hurt, but that don’t mean I’m broken Every truth I release is a chain getting open Chorus I name it out loud, I don’t run from the pain I breathe through the storm, I don’t drown in the rain I feel what I feel, but it don’t make me less I’m calming my mind while I’m healing my chest Breathe in, breathe out, I’m safe right now Feet on the ground, I won’t fall down I been through the fire, but I’m standing proud I take my power back when I name it out loud Sometimes my anger just sadness in armor Sometimes my silence means I’m trying not to harm ya Sometimes my distance ain’t me being cold I’m protecting my peace while I’m healing my soul I had to talk to my body like you safe with me No more letting fear take the wheel from me No more reacting off wounds from the past I slow down first so the peace can last This is stress, not danger, this is pain, not death This is just my spirit trying to catch its breath I ain’t gotta prove I’m strong by holding it in Real strength started when I looked within Chorus I name it out loud, I don’t run from the pain I breathe through the storm, I don’t drown in the rain I feel what I feel, but it don’t make me less I’m calming my mind while I’m healing my chest Breathe in, breathe out, I’m safe right now Feet on the ground, I won’t fall down I been through the fire, but I’m standing proud I take my power back when I name it out loud I feel fear, but fear ain’t my name I feel hurt, but hurt ain’t my shame I feel tired, but I still got faith I feel pressure, but I still got grace I feel it I name it I breathe I release I’m not my trauma I’m coming back to peace
