Lyrics:
Reflecting on a version of a younger me
Waves of gratitude like an ocean
I’ve finally learned to love myself
Integrating these new found emotions
No one can teach you but yourself
Only way through it
you can do it, I just proved it
Recalling the mission that I set out for me
Shatter infinite loops of confusion
Embodied creating my reality
All outside of self is illusion
No need for approval live authentically
I’m just here to be, Like the bumble bee
I came to be me yeeeeee
Third was the first now I can see
Crawled through the valleys I made my plea
Top of the mauna sun and rainbow tings
Ladybugs and butterflies I got my wings
No more London days, all is clear
Gentle voice of higher guidance in my ear
My path is here no vacancy
I came to be, a human being
I’m choosing me, choose to be free x2
