Honey, we didn’t come this far to disappear. We came this far to glow. We came this far to glow.
Still soft, still strong, still walking like a song. The years didn’t steal our light, They showed us where it belongs. Out where the highway touches sky.
I feel my whole life walking with me. Red on my shoulders, gold in my hair, blue silk moving wild and easy. I wore the rain, I wore the goodbye.
I wore the quiet like a name. Now every color on my back says I made it through the flame. No borrowed youth, no painted disguise, just truth and a little wild in my eyes.
I still got color in my soul, still got fire in my walk. These wrinkles are my runway lines, watch me turn, watch me talk. We didn’t come this far to fade, we came this far to glow.
Put the light upon our shoulders, let the whole wide world know. Glow, glow, honey, glow. Soft as the sunset, strong as the road.
Glow, glow, let it show. We didn’t come this far to fade, we came this far to glow. There’s a silver beard in violet wool, standing calm against the wind.
There’s a yellow dress beside the sun, laughing like life began again. Old photograph in a cedar drawer, two young hearts by a screen door. I smiled at them, they smiled at me, love grows older, not poor.
No need to race what already arrived, there’s a whole lot of beauty in a well-worn life. I still got color in my soul, still got fire in my walk. These wrinkles are my runway lines, watch me turn, watch me talk.
We didn’t come this far to fade, we came this far to glow. Put the light upon our shoulders, let the whole wide world know. Listen.
I wore black to too many goodbyes, now I wear red because I’m alive. I wore doubt like a heavy coat, now I let the wind decide. I learned to turn a scar to velvet, learned to hold a broken heart with style.
If you’re sixty, seventy, eighty and more, darling, stand there for a while. I’m not old, I’m gold, honey. I’m not done, I’m just becoming.
I still got color in my soul, still got fire in my walk. These wrinkles are my runway lines, watch me turn, watch me talk. We didn’t come this far to fade, F.
We came this far to glow. Every mile put rhythm in our steps, every loss taught love to show. Still soft, still strong, still walking like a song.
The years didn’t steal our light, they showed us where it belongs. Honey, look at us now. Still here.
Still beautiful. Still becoming. We didn’t come this far to fade.
We came this far to glow. Honey… I am not the girl I was. I’m all my colors now I’m all my colors now I am every girl I’ve been, every road, every flame.
The years did not erase my light, they taught me how to sing my name. Out where the highway meets the sky, I see my shadow standing tall. Every line upon my face is a story, not a fall.
Red coat moving with the wind, blue silk catching morning sun. I am not the girl I was, I am every girl I’ve been, in one. No borrowed youth, no painted smile, just truth that took a little while.
I am every girl I’ve been, still soft, still strong. Still dressed like a dream, still walking like a song. I wore the rain, I wore the years, I wore what love became.
And now I wear my whole life well, like it was always made for my name. Every scar, every spring let the colors sing. There’s a photograph in a cedar drawer, young eyes looking back at me.
I smile and say, don’t you be afraid, you grow into what sets you free. I was the daughter, I was the bride, the mother learning how to stay. Now I am the woman in the open light, and I do not turn away.
No need to chase what time refined, I found myself in every line. I am every girl I’ve been, still soft, still strong. Still dressed like a dream, still walking like a song.
I wore the rain, I wore the years, I wore what love became. And now I wear my whole life well, like it was always made for my name. I’ve been plain, I’ve been tired, II’ve been folded, I’ve been worn.
But tonight I wear the sunrise like the coat that I was born for. Every wrinkle is a ribbon, every scar a silver thread. I don’t dress to hide my story, I dress to raise it from the dead.
I am not late. I am not done. I am every girl I’ve been, in one.
I am every girl I’ve been, still soft, still strong. Still dressed like a dream, still walking like a song. The years did not take my light, they taught it where it belongs.
And honey, I wear my whole life now like I knew it all along. I am not the girl I was. I am every girl I’ve been.
And she brought me here.
