Light in me

Lyrics

[TITLE] First Light In Me [VERSE 1] something moved in me ay ay not loud not rushing in just a quiet warmth underneath my skin like morning finding a room i had never seen i did not know love could arrive like this with no big speech no burning wish just you there and the world made room just you there and the dark pulled through [PRE-CHORUS] the road was open i had not seen it the heart was speaking before i believed it [CHORUS] you woke a light in me you woke a light in me not a fire not a storm just a place where i felt warm you woke a light in me you woke a light in me there in my chest there in the calm there in the first soft part of dawn [VERSE 2] i thought love would call with a louder name i thought it would change me all at once, like flame but it came slowly through ordinary things your hand near mine the way silence sings and i kept listening to what i could not prove something in me learning how to move not running not falling apart just finding the first real shape of my heart [PRE-CHORUS] the road was open i had not seen it the heart was speaking before i believed it [CHORUS] you woke a light in me you woke a light in me not a fire not a storm just a place where i felt warm you woke a light in me you woke a light in me there in my chest there in the calm there in the first soft part of dawn [BRIDGE] maybe this is how it begins not with thunder not with need just a feeling settling in like the body learning peace maybe this is how we know not by holding not by fear but by standing close enough and still feeling free here [FINAL CHORUS] you woke a light in me you woke a light in me not a fire not a storm just a place where i felt warm you woke a light in me you woke a light in me there in my chest there in the calm there in the first soft part of dawn [OUTRO] something moved in me ay ay something stayed with me ay ay not a fire not a storm just the first time i felt warm
