someday Lyrics

I stopped weeding the garden

Started shaving my head

I stopped holding my body

Let it hold me instead

I stopped writing you letters that you'll never read

Stopped wondering if you're remembering me

I'm not who you knew anyways

I've been big and small and big and small again

I've been a baby a woman and then a kid again

I am more than the storms that I've weathered

I am beyond the bounds of your gaze

Underneath I believe there is someone

And I'll keep them safe

A month since Atlanta

Sometimes it feels like a day

Oh my sisters I wonder

Can you hear me calling your names

Oh I wish you could tell me your stories

Oh I wish I could carry your pain

I find myself calling my mother with nothing to say

I've been big and small and big and small again

I've been a baby a woman and then a kid again

I was never the names that they gave me

I am shedding the skins of my shame

Underneath I believe there is someone

And I'll keep them safe

Underneath I believe I am someone

And I'll meet them someday
