I Sat with Myself

[Verse 1] I walked away from crowded streets From voices loud and tangled needs I found a bench beneath the trees And sat with all the quiet in me [Pre-Chorus] No answers came, but I felt whole As if the silence knew my soul No need to run, no need to prove The stillness helped my heart to move [Chorus] I sat with myself And I didn’t turn away Let the shadows speak What they needed to say I listened, I stayed Through the silence and the sway And somehow I felt A little lighter that day [Verse 2] I used to fill the empty space With everything but my own face Now here I am, no mask, no name Just breath and thought and gentle flame [Pre-Chorus] It’s not about the things I do But how I sit and sit with truth To watch the storm, to let it be To be the sky, not just the sea [Chorus] I sat with myself And I didn’t run or hide Let the fear arise Like a wave, then subside I softened, I cried But I never left my side And now I know I’ve always been alive [Outro] I sat with myself And it felt like coming home
