The Intention
Completion. The healer standing in her full instrument — nothing missing, nothing broken. The song never narrates a journey from brokenness; it starts from inside the knowing and the deeper it looks, the more it confirms. Built around "the deeper that I look the more I see, every part living here in me."
Lyrics
Verse 1
The deeper that I look the more I see
Every part living here in me
Light and shadow sitting side by side
Nothing hiding, nothing pushed aside
Pre-Chorus
And every time I think I've met it all
There's more of me to unfold
Chorus
I am whole
I can feel it in my soul
I am whole
My soul has always known
The deeper I go
I find myself again
I am whole
Verse 2
I can see where all the roots connect
Where my adult and the inner child have met
What I'm learning and what I've known all along
Are the same voice singing the same song
Pre-Chorus
And every time I go a little deeper
The whole just gets more beautiful
Chorus
I am whole
I can feel it in my soul
I am whole
My soul has always known
The deeper I go
I find myself again
I am whole
Bridge
I have been the storm
I have been the still
I have been the question
And the answer always will
Come back to this
Come back to this
I always come back whole
Chorus
I am whole
I can feel it in my soul
I am whole
My soul has always known
The deeper I go
I find myself again
I am whole
Outro
I am whole
I am whole
I am whole
I am whole
I am whole
