Yeah...
I was small, I was slow
Didn’t know where I’d go
Brushed my hair, stared at the sky
Wrote my name, but asked why
Shoes too big, heart too loud
Always lost inside the crowd
Walked alone in my own beat
Wished the world would just repeat
Every laugh was new to me
Every tear a melody
I was reaching through the dark
Hoping stars would leave a mark
Didn’t bloom like all the rest
But I held it in my chest
Now I bloom, blooming quietly
Through the cracks where no one sees
Every bruise became my guide
To the fire I hold inside
I bloom, like the midnight rain
Not too loud, but not in vain
You won’t see the way I grew
But I know it—so do you
Used to hide from every light
Danced alone deep in the night
Pages turned with shaky hands
Built my world on shifting sand
They called me strange, they called me shy
But I just watched the seasons fly
Counted dreams in colored skies
Now I don’t need to ask why
Every mirror I avoided
Now reflects a truth I floated
I’m still me, but not the same
I just learned to love the change
Now I bloom, blooming quietly
Through the cracks where no one sees
Every bruise became my guide
To the fire I hold inside
I bloom, like the midnight rain
Not too loud, but not in vain
You won’t see the way I grew
But I know it—so do you
Oh-oh, oh...
Didn’t need the spotlight
Just needed my time right
Silence taught me how to speak
Now I’m strong and softly deep
I bloom, blooming quietly
Through the cracks where no one sees
Soft and slow but still I rise
Now the world feels just my size
I bloom, like a shadow flame
Still unknown, but not the same
You don’t have to understand
Just know I became who I am
Tick, tick, bloom...
Grow, glow, bloom...
I was small
Now I know.
