I return - lyrics in description

In the hush... I hear. In the stillness... I remember. Beneath the ashes, beneath the stone, There is a way... Back home. The world falls quiet, the air grows still, I lay down the weight I was never meant to fill. Beneath the noise, beneath the ache, I hear the whispers the silence makes. No more chasing what will not remain, No more mistaking the storm for the rain. I breathe with the earth, I soften my hands, And listen for truths I can finally understand. I need not run. I need not fight. I let the shadows settle into night. I need not know what waits beyond, I trust the earth beneath my palms. I call my energy home to me, From the scattered ashes, I rise to breathe. I gather my truth from the dust below, And plant my roots where new things grow. I return what isn't mine to hold, Release the past; let the earth take hold. With open eyes, I stand in my truth, The truth is my anchor; the rest may unfold. Among the ruins, beneath the dust, I find the self I can finally trust. With open eyes, I see what remains, What taught me wisdom, what carried the pain. I will not curse what brought me here, Nor close my eyes to what is clear. From broken ground, my roots run deep, I claim the soul I vowed to keep. What fell away made room to grow. What I must carry, I will know. I honour the truth of all I've been, And leave the needless weight behind again. I call my energy home to me, From the scattered ashes, I rise to breathe. I gather my truth from the dust below, And plant my roots where new things grow. I return what isn't mine to hold, Release the past; let the earth take hold. With open eyes, I stand in my truth, The truth is my anchor; the rest may unfold. I need not carry what I cannot mend, Nor chase each beginning towards its end. I honour the hurt, but I loosen its hold, Let the earth take the weight I no longer need to hold. No eyes turned away, no truth denied, No war in my heart that I need to survive. I breathe in the stillness, let old fires fade, And trust what is mine need not be chased. I kneel where the old foundations lie, With dust on my hands and stars in my eyes. I will not rebuild what was never right, I'll lay every stone in the truth of my light. No borrowed voices will name my soul, No ancient anger will take control. From earth to bone, from breath to seed, I build from the truth of the life I need. I return to me. I return to the earth. I release what has ended. I make room for rebirth. I return to me. I return to the truth. What was broken is not all that remains. There is life in the roots. Earth beneath me, hold me steady. Sky above me, leave me room. I release the things I cannot govern, I let the old make way for bloom. I call my scattered spirit homeward, I draw my breath into the now. I do not need to force the unfolding. I stand in truth. I trust somehow. What is mine, I welcome home. What is not, I leave alone. I am free, so mote it be.
