Wounded by Beauty

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A streak of color in the sky
A song that made me want to cry
A whisper in a painted light
That shattered me — but felt so right

[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn’t prove it, couldn’t name
But something deep was not the same

[Chorus]
I was wounded by beauty
Struck in the soul
Not by logic or by duty
But something whole
A glimpse of glory I can’t defend
But it broke me open… to start again

[Verse 2]
They say it’s nothing — just a spark
A trick of light, a passing lark
But if it’s hollow, why this ache?
Why does my sleeping spirit wake?

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth may hide in mystery’s face
But I have touched its trembling grace

[Chorus]
I was wounded by beauty
And I still bleed
Not with pain, but with the need
To know what called me through that flame
What whispered softly my true name

[Bridge – soft and poetic, with ambient backing]
The stars don’t argue… they just shine
And stir a longing that feels divine
A songbird’s cry, a child’s smile
Can carry truth across the miles

[Guitar Solo – tender and melodic, like a memory unfolding]

[Final Chorus – with emotion]
I was wounded by beauty
And I’m still raw
But in that wound, I saw the law
Of something good, beyond debate
And I will chase it…
Though it makes me wait
