I AM MY OWN LIGHT 1950s Soul Blues / Soul Ballad

“I Am My Own Light” is a song about falling, rebuilding, and finding the strength to begin again. Dedicated to every woman who has faced pain, loss, and doubt, only to discover that the light she was searching for had always been within her. A soulful journey of self-love, healing, and rebirth. Artist: Lomer Sound Genre: 1950s Soul Blues / Soul Ballad LYRICS Singing alone before the mirror with a thousand questions in my voice searching outside for the answers while something cried, “I'm still here” I grew up feeling I was different like I never quite belonged watching love fall apart at home and the silence hurt us all I tried to change the things that hurt me though no one seemed to understand I learned to be the one who rises when the whole world falls apart And though everything was falling all around something deep inside me never faded out I didn't break… I was remade though life didn't turn out quite the way I'd dreamed ohhh… I didn't give up I doubted myself… I fell apart but in my ruins I found who I am it's me… it's me I don't live by what the others say I won't lose myself just to fit in Now I've found my voice… my truth I'm the woman who began again rebornnn… ohhh I tried to be what they expected live the life they called perfect I followed roads that were never mine just so I wouldn't be alone I cried in silence many nights asking life to tell me why why the things I wanted so badly simply never came my way Then I knew… it wasn't a loss it was my soul awakening Life was never meant to wait for someday all we really have is here and now I didn't break… I was remade though a thousand times I felt I'd failed myself ohhh… I found myself I rebuilt myself… forgave myself left the past right where it belongs I let go… I let go I don't carry what was never meant to be I don't hurt for what I couldn't reach Now I've found my peace… my place I'm the woman who chose to heal stronger… stronger I got tired of searching outside for what had always lived in me I wasn't born into this world to fit in I was born to make my choice To choose myself… to love myself… to live I fell down… I rose again though life had taught me how to lose ohhh… I learned I found myself… I held myself and through my wounds I found my faith faith… in me I don't need anybody's approval I'm enough just as I am Now I've found my light… my truth I'm the woman nothing can hold back rebornnn… ohhhh I didn't break… I came alive and if I have to… I'll rebuild myself again one more time… one more time I am my own light… I am my own light…
