Lyrics
(Verse 1 – Mirriam Nkosi)
I know it don’t feel like home no more
Like you can’t trust no more
I know
But your body’s still holy
It’s yours and yours only, oh
So cry, scream, don’t keep it all within
Dance, sing, do what you need to do
Just do it for you
(Verse 2 – Mazani)
Don’t worry, you’ll find you
Someone you can talk to, someone that can love
Don’t worry, you’ll find you, you’ll find you, you’ll find you
On some days, she feels like a stranger in her own body
When she’s looking in the mirror
Scars are getting deeper
She’s running out of reasons
She’s trying to find a reason
A reason to believe in herself
To believe in love ‘coz someone thought they could take
What was rightfully hers
So now, she smiles throughout the day
And cries throughout the night
Still searching for a way
To let out the pain inside
(Verse 3 – Praise Umali)
See, I know the comments get to you
And you don’t show it
I know you’re hurting too
But see I notice
You’re caving in, you’re worn out
The world has got you drowning
You’re just trying to breathe out
And I know when the lights go out
Oh my my
The triggers, the trauma
But trust me you deserve the love that you could never dream of
You’re worth it, I know for a fact that you can fight your demons
I pray you realize with everything you’re worth the loving
I pray you realize that you are perfect, save the judgement
I pray you realize no-one is meant for sadness
I pray you find the happiness
I pray you learn what happy is
(Verse 4 – Mirriam Nkosi)
You are not your trauma
You are not your pain
Know that you are worthy
You were not to blame
You are not your trauma
You are not your pain
Know that you are worthy
You were not to blame
