I always thought I was different

Because I felt we were not the same

I see the beauty all around me

And in that, how would I want that to change

Too feel that same beauty buried deep inside of me

Like the foundation that makes our memories

Like the kiss of a dove as it transcends

This longing I have had inside me was never really filled

Lifted me up from the darkness in those nights spent weak

I found a way to shine bright and how I finally felt it in me

When on my knees I’d weep alone and it was there I found it was always deep in your bones
