After the Storm

I let the broken pieces settle down

Now my heart can hear a different sound

I used to wear my silence like a chain

Smile through the weather,

dancing through the pain

Held every promise with trembling hands

Trying to bloom in somebody else's plans

Then I found mercy in the quiet air

Learned how to hold what was always there

A little more honest,

a little more free

Love started growing inside of me And when you looked at me,

I didn't have to hide You met the healed heart I was

keeping deep inside Now every scar

is turning into light I

found true

love after the

healing After the long nights teaching me to breathe Now when you

hold me, I know what I'm feeling Nothing to fix,

nothing to flee This is the real thing,

steady and deep True love found me when my heart was ready

You never asked me to be less than whole

Never rushed the timing of my soul

You took my truth and treated it with care

Made a home for all the hope in there

So I can laugh without the fear of loss

Lay down the weight and leave behind the cost

Every tomorrow opens like a door

To something kinder than I've known before

I don't need saving,

I just need your hand Two steady hearts learning how to stand

What I was missing was already near I

found true love

after the healing After the

long nights teaching me to breathe Now when you hold me,

I know what I'm feeling Nothing to fix,

nothing to flee This is the real thing,

steady and deep True love found me when

my heart was ready Now every part of me can finally sing

True love found me When my heart was ready (ooh)
