From the recording Hearts & Halos
Lyrics
Verse 1
I’ve been walking through familiar faces
Like a ghost they recognise
Say my name but never really see me
Just a shadow passing by
But there’s something underneath the silence
Every word I couldn’t say
Like a fire I kept out of the daylight
Now it’s finding its way
⸻
Pre-Chorus
All this time I was waiting in the dark
Now I feel it waking in my heart
⸻
Chorus
I’m breaking through like sunrise on the night
Every word I write’s a step into the light
I was hidden, not missing all this time
Now the voice they never heard is coming alive
Every note’s a step I’m taking, closer than I’ve ever been
Like a life I couldn’t live before is finally letting me in
You don’t see me now—but I’m already on my way
Till I’m everything they couldn’t see
⸻
Verse 2
I’ve been heard by strangers in the distance
Felt it echo back to me
Like they see the truth I’ve been denying
Something I was scared to be
Now I’m done with keeping it together
Playing small to stay the same
If I’m standing on the edge of something
I’m the one to take the blame
⸻
Pre-Chorus
All this time I was living half a life
Now I’m stepping into something right
⸻
Chorus
I’m breaking through like sunrise on the night
Every word I write’s a step into the light
I was hidden, not missing all this time
Now the voice they never heard is coming alive
Every note’s a step I’m taking, closer than I’ve ever been
Like a life I couldn’t live before is finally letting me in
You don’t see me now—but I’m already on my way
Till I’m everything they couldn’t see
⸻
Bridge
One day you’ll turn and wonder why
You never saw it in my eyes
I was building something real
While you were waiting for a sign
I don’t need you to believe
I can feel what’s meant for me
And every step I’m taking now
Is who I’m meant to be
⸻
Final Chorus
I’m breaking through like sunrise on the night
Every word I write’s a step into the light
I was hidden, not missing all this time
Now the voice they never heard is coming alive
Every note’s a step I’m taking, closer than I’ve ever been
Like a life I couldn’t live before is finally letting me in
You don’t see me now—but I’m already on my way
Now I’m everything they couldn’t see, Every moment that was meant for me.
I'm coming alive -- No longer hidden from the lights.
