Soul Alchemy

I've been running through the shadows chasing echoes in the night Searching for a savior to tell me wrong from right Every voice around me said the truth was out of reach But I found it in the silence it was always here with me No more looking for the pieces in the hands of someone else The questions I've been asking were meant for myself I'm the light I've been waiting for the calm within the storm The fire in the cold the shelter keeping me warm Every scar every tear they taught me how to heal The answers weren't out there they were always in me real I've faced a thousand mirrors afraid of what I'd see But now I see a warrior staring back at me The cracks in my reflection they're maps of where I've been And every broken fragment is how I let love in No more chasing empty dreams that fade like fleeting stars The love I've been searching for was hiding in my heart I'm the light I've been waiting for the calm within the storm The fire in the cold the shelter keeping me warm Every scar every tear they taught me how to heal The answers weren't out there they were always in me real I don't need their validation I don't need their praise The voice inside is louder now it guides me through the haze I've found my strength my truth my soul I'm finally finally whole I'm the light I've been waiting for the calm within the storm The fire in the cold the shelter keeping me warm Every scar every tear they taught me how to heal The answers weren't out there they were always in me real So here I stand unshaken with love I've come to know The greatest truth is learning to never let me go The answers in the mirror the strength I've come to see I was never incomplete everything I need is me
