Self in the Mirror

I was searching
I was calling
I was listening
All along

I walked far away from home
Wore the mask, I fed the tome
Told myself I'd find the way
Somewhere else, some other day

Every road I tried to cross
Asked for faith, demanded loss
Every voice I chased outside
Echoed what I held inside

There you are
Looking back
In the mirror
In the crack

Same old light
Same old fire
I am what
I was trying to find

I let go of should and be
Dropped the weight, bent the knee
In the space between the breath
Something lived beyond the depth

Not a stranger, not a guide
Not a God above the sky
Just a hand I never took
Just a face I never looked

There you are
Looking back
In the stillness
In the crack

Same old light
Same old fire
I am what
I was trying to find

I am broken
(You are whole)
I am lost
(You are home)
I am silent
(You are sound)
I fall apart
(You are ground)

Here we are
Looking back
In the mirror
In the crack

Same old light
Passing through
I am me
I am you!

Nothing missing
Nothing new
Just the light
Coming through
