VELVETEEN

Love spoke my name
And I felt life run through me
Reborn in the flames
Nothing can undo me
Oooh, I believe, that I'm becoming

So if my beauty starts to fade
Well, I've been held in a thousand ways
If my heart looks broken in
Then I've been brave enough to live
If perfect turns to perfect mess
And all your love is all that's left
Then I'm as real as real can be
Call me Velveteen

Shadow and light
I learned to let them find me
Coming alive
Feels a lot like dying
Ooh, I believe that I'm becoming

I know it's true no matter
true no matter how I feel
'Cause I'm becoming real

So if my beauty starts to fade
If my heart looks broken in
If my beauty starts to fade
Well, I've been held in a thousand ways
If my heart looks broken in
Then I've been brave enough to live
If perfect turns to perfect mess
And all your love is all that's left
Then I'm as real as real can be
Call me Velveteen

This song is so moving. Ran into this on Spotify. Thank you for these incredible, intentional, real, lyrics. It soothes my wounded heart.

This song is beautiful and honest. "Coming alive feels a lot like dying." Some of the truest words written. It's through the fire we become alive, the burning away to show the world the real us.
