Dancing in the Rain

I used to carry mirrors that were broken at the edge

Walking narrow lines along a cold and lonely ledge

I was begging for a pittance, just a scrap of someone's time

Trying to turn my copper soul into a silver dime

But the silence in the hallway started sounding like a song

And I realized I was right where I belonged all along

I took the heavy armor off and laid it on the floor

I don't have to fight for space or status anymore

I'm the sun and I'm the shadow, I'm the anchor and the sea

I have finally found the rhythm in the root of being me

I am worthy of the sunrise, I am worthy of the grace

I don't need a second person just to validate my space

Yeah, the love I give to myself is the gold in every vein

I am standing in my power, I am dancing in the rain

I spent a lifetime seeking for a badge or for a sign

Waiting for a stranger's hand to tell me I was fine

But the ink is in my fingers and the story is my own

I have built a cathedral out of every heavy stone

Now I look into the glass and I don't flinch at what I see

I've made a holy covenant between my soul and me

No more asking for permission just to breathe or just to be

I have unlocked every shackle, I have found the master key

I'm the sun and I'm the shadow, I'm the anchor and the sea

I have finally found the rhythm in the root of being me

I am worthy of the sunrise, I am worthy of the grace

I don't need a second person just to validate my space

Yeah, the love I give to myself is the gold in every vein

I am standing in my power, I am dancing in the rain

No one gets to draw the borders of the map inside my head

I am burning every blueprint, I am following my thread

It's the most important promise, it's the bond that's built to last

I'm the future of my spirit, I'm the healer of my past

I am whole, I am enough, I am solid, I am light

I am staying in the center of my own internal sight

I'm the sun and I'm the shadow, I'm the anchor and the sea

I have finally found the rhythm in the root of being me
