Mike Baker - Relearning How to Feel Lyrics

I used to flinch at kindness
Didn't trust the calm
But now I sit in quiet rooms
And let it touch my palms

I forgot how joy felt honest
How grief could turn to gold
Now every breath's a lesson
In letting go of hold

I'm not chasing perfect endings
Just moments that are real
It took losing all my armor
To relearn how to feel

I'm relearning how to feel
One color at a time
Letting sorrow kiss my shoulder
Letting peace unwind
I'm relearning how to feel
Not numb, not overrun
Just standing in the stillness
Like a shadow in the sun

The past still hums inside me
But I don't let it lead
And when the fear comes knocking
I offer it a seat

No longer just surviving
I'm finding something more
A language made of heartbeats
And an unlocked door

I'm relearning how to feel
One color at a time
Letting sorrow kiss my shoulder
Letting peace unwind
I'm relearning how to feel
Not numb, not overrun
Just standing in the stillness
Like a shadow in the sun

If I cry now, it's a prayer
If I laugh, it's just begun
