MUZIC SOCIETY

Lyrics

### Verse 1

Last winter nearly convinced me I was finished
Had my spirit folded up like an old church fan
Every mirror carried questions I couldn't answer
Every sunrise felt borrowed, not part of the plan

I wore sorrow like Sunday clothes too long
Buttoned tight from my shoulders to my pride
Kept smiling for the world while breaking quietly
Carrying whole graveyards on the inside

But trouble don't own me forever
And heartache ain't my family name
One morning I woke up breathing different
And nothing has been the same

### Chorus

This is what reborn feels like
This is what surviving sounds like
These ain't tears falling from my eyes
They're old shackles saying goodbye

This is what reborn feels like
After every storm that tried to break me down
Look at me now, baby
I finally learned how to wear my crown

### Verse 2

The magnolia trees outside my window know it
The riverbank knows it too
Even the dusty neon buzzing at the juke joint
Can tell I'm walking differently than I used to

I don't beg for affection anymore
Don't chase after hearts that can't stay still
Don't trade pieces of myself for acceptance
Or bend my truth to fit somebody else's will

I learned some departures are blessings
Some closed doors are mercy in disguise
Sometimes heaven clears the table completely
Before serving what's meant for your life

### Chorus

This is what reborn feels like
This is what surviving sounds like
These ain't tears falling from my eyes
They're old shackles saying goodbye

This is what reborn feels like
After every storm that tried to break me down
Look at me now, baby
I finally learned how to wear my crown

### Bridge

I remember every woman I used to be
The one who doubted
The one who settled
The one who waited too long

I thank her for carrying me this far

But she don't have to carry me anymore

Tonight the blues ain't visiting to haunt me
They're here to testify

To everything I overcame

### Verse 3

Now when midnight settles over the Delta
And lonely souls gather beneath dim lights
I raise my glass to every scar that shaped me
Every wrong turn that led me right

Because freedom ain't about perfection
And healing ain't forgetting where you've been
It's dancing with your history beside you
Without letting it cage you again

### Final Chorus

This is what reborn feels like
Strong enough to love without fear
Soft enough to still believe in tenderness
Wise enough to keep my boundaries clear

This is what reborn feels like
No longer hiding from the woman I became
The blues still live inside my story

But they don't own my name

No...

They don't own my name

### Outro

The night air feels sweeter now
The road ahead feels wide and true

And for the first time in a long, long while

I ain't just alive...

I'm finally living

I'm finally living...

And Lord...

What a beautiful feeling that is.
