Original Song: I Remember What I AM
Singer-Songwriter: Shavon

I Remember What I Am

I walked with a name I was given at birth
Carried it close like it measured my worth
Spoke in a voice that was shaped by the room
Echoed the world like a hollowed-out tune

There in the quiet beneath all the sound
Something was waiting, but not to be found
Not in the seeking, not reaching above
But in the breaking of what I once was


There is a pull I can’t deny
It moves through me, it doesn’t lie
No longer asking what is true
It’s rising up from somewhere new


I remember what I am
Not the body, not the plan
Not the story, not the name
Not the pieces I became

I remember what I am
I was never held by them
Now the veil is wearing thin
And I feel it moving in


I felt it stirring under my skin
Not from outside, but deep within
A widening space I could not contain
Not bound by loss, not shaped by pain

Every moment began to unfold
Not something new, but something old
A living current, silent and wide
Watching through me from the inside


There is no edge, there is no end
No place I stop, no place I bend
What I was taught begins to fall
It was never that small


I remember what I am
Not the body, not the plan
Not the story, not the name
Not the pieces I became

I remember what I am
I was never held by them
Now the veil is wearing thin
And I feel it moving in


At the first turning, I laid it down
All that I built to keep me bound
What I was holding slipped away
And still I stood, and still I stayed

At the second turning, time grew still
No past to chase, no future to fill
Only the breath, the space between
Where I end and all has been

At the final turning, nothing to hide
No shape to carry, no place to divide
What I was seeking was never apart
It was the rhythm inside of my heart


I remember what I am
Not the body, not the plan
Not the story, not the name
Not the pieces I became

I remember what I am
I was never held by them
Now the veil is wearing thin
And I feel it moving in
