[Intro] Yeah… 2AM… still awake… Static in the silence… I hear You… (low tribal chant: “Heya… heya…”) [Verse 1] I was hiding in the noise, tryna stay small Built walls so high, couldn’t see my own call Every room felt colder than the last one I knew Even my own thoughts stopped knocking, that’s true Walking through the dark like it was home to the soul Carrying weight that I swore I’d never hold Searching for light in a broken glowing screen Till I felt the answer burning inside of me You were there in the quiet, never in the crowd Not in the chaos, not when I screamed loud Every time I fell and kissed the dusty ground You were the only silence that still made a sound [Pre-Chorus] Falling down but I still rise, no surprise Blinded eyes finally opened to the skies Everything I ran from, everything I feared Was the very fire that brought me here [Chorus] Holy Universe… I breathe You in Under my skin… beneath my sin Holy Universe… don’t speak too loud I hear You clearest when there is no crowd Holy Universe… stay in my chest Where it still hurts… where I’m not blessed Holy Universe… don’t let me fade You’re the only truth I never made [Verse 2] Late nights staring at the ceiling cracks Hearing echoes of the old me I left back Every scar became a map the ancestors read Until I learned to love the parts that still bled No more running from the fire in my name No more blaming time or playing victim games Every crack inside let the light break through What I thought was broken… was becoming new I didn’t break — I changed form Stayed alive through every storm Everything I tried to fight Turned me into what I’m born [Pre-Chorus] Every loss, every scar, every silent fight Every version of me that died in the night Wasn’t punishment… it was divine design Shaping the warrior I’m meant to be this time [Chorus] Holy Universe… I breathe You in Under my skin… beneath my sin Holy Universe… don’t speak too loud I hear You clearest when there is no crowd Holy Universe… stay in my chest Where it still hurts… where I’m not blessed Holy Universe… don’t let me fade You’re the only truth I never made [Bridge] (tribal ad-libs + war cry) No more hiding… No more running… I was never lost… I was just becoming… (Kora melody swells + “Heya! Heya!”) [Final Chorus] Holy Universe… I breathe You in Now I know exactly where I begin Holy Universe… deep in my soul You broke me down just to make me whole Holy Universe… I won’t run I’m still right here… and I’m not done Holy Universe… now I see You were never far… You were always me [Outro] Yeah… Still breathing… Still here… Still becoming…
