“Becoming”

Lyrics: 

VERSE 1
There are traditions
There are rules
The do’s and don'ts invade my brain
They've firmly taken root.

I know my place.
I know the plan.
But it unravels every time he holds my hand.

PRECHORUS
That smile that grabs my heart
And sends it racing.
Keeps me safe and secure even though everything is changing

CHORUS
Who Is this girl
Walking away
Down an unknown path
Assured and unafraid

With trembling hands
The letter penned in love
Becoming Who I am
Means leaving who I was

VERSE 2
I wasn't certain,
I was young.
They taught their faith as fact
So believed it was.

I learned my lessons
I played my role
An endless quest to shelter
My eternal Soul.

PRECHORUS 2
But questions went unanswered and evaded
A blind endentured servitude to customs men Created.

CHORUS
Who Is this girl
Walking away
Down an unknown path
Assured and unafraid

With trembling hands
The letter penned in love
Becoming Who I am
Means leaving who I was

BRIDGE
To know I'll never walk these halls again is daunting.
My memories haunt the house and hold me fast.
The doubts inside my head wont cease their taunting
As all I've ever known becomes my past

I steel my nerves and still my breath, “Forgive me”
A silent whispered prayer that won't come true.
But I will walk this lonely road toward freedom.
Just knowing on the other side is you.

CHORUS
Who Is this girl
Changing her fate.
on an unknown path
Assured and unafraid

With steady hands
adorned in steadfast love
Becoming Who I am
Means leaving who I was

TAG
Becoming who I am…
And maybe always was.
