Lyrics

I was never meant to be unbroken
I was never shaped to stay the same
Every crack I tried to hide
Was where the light would one day flame

I've buried dreams and people too
Asked God questions He didn't answer soon
Learned the hard way how pain can teach
What comfort never could reach

It took the breaking for me to see
What this life was doing to me

I am a vessel, not the fire
I am the shape, not the light
What broke in me let heaven through
Now I let it shine for you

I've seen people trapped in endless loops
Promised healing, sold a proof
Kept them waiting, kept them small
But grace don't work that way at all

I am a vessel, not the fire
I am the shape, not the light
What broke in me let heaven through
Now I let it shine for you

Every story's got its scars
Every soul's been pulled apart
What shaped me will shape you too
If you let the light come through

We are vessels, not the flame
We are shaped by hurt and grace
Every crack a sacred view
Of what the light was meant to do

This is how I give it back
This is how I learned to learn
This is how the light I found
Becomes the light you earn
