The Best Of You

The morning paints you soft and new
A brighter shade that's breaking through
The mirror shows what's always been
The light you've carried deep within
The scars you wore are turning gold
The weight you held is losing hold
The world unfolds beneath your feet
And every breath feels more complete
You're getting closer than before
To every dream you've waited for
A heart unbound, a fearless glow
Becoming someone you should know
The storms you faced now light the way
Through open skies and brighter days
And everything you've longed to be
Is waking up inside of me
Your voice has found a steady tune
A rhythm rising past the moon
You walk through doors you used to fear
Each step rewriting why you're here
The past no longer pulls you down
You've grown beyond this fragile town
The shadows fade, the doubts release
Your name is finally spelled in peace
You're getting closer to the sun
To every race you thought you'd run
The paths ahead are yours to claim
And nothing here remains the same
Your strength's the spark you used to hide
But now it burns where you reside
You're finding out what's always true
The best of life begins with you
I see the fire inside your eyes
It lifts the earth, it moves the tides
A love for self, a love for more
The kind of soul the stars adore
You're getting closer every day
To where the light has found its way
The rivers bend, the seasons turn
You're holding all you used to yearn
The highest peaks, the deepest seas
Were always waiting patiently
The life you've dreamed is breaking through
The best of you becoming you
