My dark shadows

They know me by name

Encumbering my spirit

Hardened with Shame

Until I realized

That I am in control of my own life

They used to tell me

To stay away from the light

I used to run

I used to hide

But now I journey inward

I used to run

I used to Hide

Now my fears they burn away like embers

As I ignite my internal flame

I stand in my power

Divinity knows me by name

This life is a gift

It is yours to create

Keep evolving

Even if your voice shakes

I used to run

I used to hide

But now I journey inward

I used to run

I used to Hide

Now my fears they burn away like embers

As I ignite my internal flame

I stand in my power

Divinity knows me by name

I used to run

I used to hide

Now I journey inward
