Title: Still Mine

Verse 1 I sleep with my back to a cold brick wall Streetlight humming overhead I close my eyes and I am eight years old With a world still in my head I wanted to help the hurting ones Be someone strong and kind I dreamed of a house with a yellow door And peace I thought I would find Pre Chorus Somewhere along the way I started believing those dreams were not for me Chorus But these dreams were never dead They were just buried deep Under fear and broken years And promises I could not keep I thought I lost them forever Thought I crossed the line But these dreams were never gone They were always mine Verse 2 I traded hope for a quiet mind For something that could numb the pain Every day was just surviving Not dreaming again I told myself I ruined it all That grace was not for someone like me But even in the darkest nights Something still believed Pre Chorus I am still here I am still breathing And I finally see. Chorus Our dreams were never dead Just buried under shame They still remembered who we were They still knew our name Now we are clean and we are sober Learning how to be The little girls we used to be Are still inside of us Bridge We are mothers We are daughters We are healing in the light We are learning how to trust again One brave step at a time She is holding her child again She is waking up clear headed She is choosing to stay Final Chorus These dreams are breathing again We can finally see The women we are becoming Are who we were always meant to be They were never dead Just waiting patiently Still ours Still mine Outro We still have hope We still have time
