Wounded by Beauty (Piano Sessions Version)

[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]

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

[Final Chorus]

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
