When the dust began to settle
When my world was torn apart
I was walking through the wreckage
Proudly wearing battle scars
I was sifting through the damage
Never thought I'd come this far
Moving hesitantly
But showing up
With my whole heart
It might take awhile for my feet to hit this land
But I'm standing tall despite the shaking in my hands
I want you to know
That it's never been this easy
For me to fall this hard
But something that's been broken
Has more room to let the light in
Shines brighter in the dark
I took all the shattered pieces and made abstract art
Of all the things that came together
You're my favorite part
Stepping back in the arena
Terrified to start again
Even if my knees are trembling
I will stand with open hands
Even if I end up face down I will lean all in
I would rather take that risk then never feel again
I want you to know
That it's never been this easy
For me to fall this hard
But something that's been broken
Has more room to let the light in
Shines brighter in the dark
I took all the shattered pieces and made abstract art
Of all the things that came together
You're my favorite part
Lost some friends and then I made some
All the unexpected outcomes
Hard to find myself again
Traded innocence for independence
Lost some things I took for granted
Took awhile to understand that
It's hard to say these things out loud
To the ones we care the most about
I want you to know
That it's never been this easy
For me to fall this hard
But something that's been broken
Has more room to let the light in
Shines brighter in the dark
Oh I took all the shattered pieces and made abstract art
Of all the things that came together
I took all the shattered pieces and made abstract art
Of all the things that came together
You're my favorite part
My favorite part
