Write It In

“Write It In”
Verse 1
Don’t Google your name, ever—
Don’t go searching for yourself
In the glow of a stranger’s screen
Like they get to tell you who you are.
Don’t let your beauty flicker
Like a switch someone can turn off,
You’re not a headline or a handle,
You’re a whole and holy star.
Chorus
Let your light come from the fire,
Not the mirrors in the dark.
Let your pain become the spark,
But never let it be the timber.
You weren’t born to write your heart out
Just to watch it disappear again—
No, you came here,
You came here to write it in.
Verse 2
Don’t edit out your ugly,
Don’t erase the parts that ache—
Those cracks are where the truth lives,
Where the real you starts to wake.
You’re not meant to fit the filters,
You’re not meant to shrink or hide—
You’re the story still unfolding
With the ink still warm inside.
Chorus
Let your light come from the fire,
Not the mirrors in the dark.
Let your pain become the spark,
But never let it be the timber.
You weren’t born to write your heart out
Just to watch it disappear again—
No, you came here,
You came here to write it in.
Bridge
So let the world keep scrolling,
Let the noise keep passing by—
You’re a flame that won’t be captured
In a pixel or a lie.
You’re the breath between the pages,
You’re the pulse beneath the skin—
You’re the truth that keeps on rising
Every time you start again.
Verse 3
So don’t search for your reflection
In a place that can’t see soul—
You’re the author of your becoming,
You’re the one who writes you whole.
And when the night feels heavy,
Let your courage be your pen—
Write your heart into the world
And let it live there,
Let it live there again.
Final Chorus
Let your light come from the fire,
Not the mirrors in the dark.
Let your pain become the spark,
But never let it be the timber.
You weren’t born to write your heart out
Just to watch it disappear again—
No, you came here,
You came here to write it in.
Outro
Write it in the cracks and shadows,
Write it in the places thin—
You didn’t come to be discovered—
You came here to write it in.
