No mud no lotus, haven't you noticed
The patterns of the pain in your past.
The things that broke you, they also awoke you
To the questions you needed to ask.
The sleepless nights, and the dizzying heights
And the dreams some of which came true.
Until the breaks, heartaches, perfect mistakes
Created this version of you.
And everything you go through, grows you, grows you.
And everything you go through, grows you, exposes who you are.
If it hurt it made you softer
If it was hard it fueled the hunger.
If it touched you, your heart took hold.
If it was simple, it made you wise
If it was sweet, it made you smile
Weaved an indelible impression on your soul.
Your feet they walked, and your lips they talked
And your hands dug around for the proof.
Every look, every book, pictured in your mind that you took
Created this version of you.
And everything you go through grows you, grows you.
And everything you go through, grows you, exposes
The roots of an endless summer
Part time temporary lovers
And the swoon of a deep blue sky.
And as the time blew, you planted and gathered your truth
As it passed before your eyes.
And the wound is where the light gets in.
Revealing the masterpiece that's just beneath the skin.
And in the glow of your own light
With your petals open wide
And you bloom right where you are.
Everything you go through grows you, grows you
Everything you go through grows you, exposes who you are.
No mud no lotus, haven't you noticed
The patterns of the pain in your past.
The things that broke you, they also awoke you
To the questions you needed to ask.
