8. YOUNIVERSE
I stop waiting for the world to change —
as if it has to move before I rearrange.
Everything changes when I take my mirror back.
This is my Universe.
Yours is waiting behind your own glass.
(This is my Universe.)
[VERSE 1]
The mirror won't smile until I do first.
I ask for abundance while believing the worst.
Fix every thought, outrun the pain.
The more I resist, the more it remains.
I think I can hide what I reject.
The source knows my heart,
not the words that I say.
So I learn to sit with my body and listen inside —
Where am I clenching?
Where do I hide?
Breathe into my belly.
Soften my jaw.
Unfurrow my brow.
The mirror reflects what I hold in my brain.
It waits in stillness beyond the resistance.
[PRE-CHORUS]
If I see judgment, I'm taking the measure.
If I see lack, I'm ignoring my treasure.
I'm my own detector.
I look where it's easy to find.
[CHORUS]
This is my Universe,
What I give out is what comes back.
Universe.
I must be selfish enough to care how I feel —
that's how I make my new world real.
If I've asked for a lot, then a lot must change.
I think about what's working out for me.
Universe.
Always asking for more.
(More. More. More.)
[VERSE 2]
There's really only two emotions,
what feels good and what feels bad.
The more I push, the harder things get.
Mood of worry pinches me off — I notice the clamp.
I use the contrast.
It sharpens my ask.
Every "not this" is fuel for my expressed purpose.
I thank the no for showing me the yes.
When I stop trying to force my way through,
I sit with my body and ask what is true.
When I let go, my thoughts get quiet.
The world doesn't change — but I come back.
Suddenly, nothing feels off-track.
I feel what I feel, and that leads the way.
I ask myself daily:
"What am I seeing, and what am I needing?"
If I want joy, I open my hands.
If I want ease, I soften my stance.
(Everything changes when I take my mirror back.)
[PRE-CHORUS]
If I see judgment, I'm taking the measure.
If I see lack, I'm ignoring my treasure.
I'm my own detector.
I look where it's easy to find.
[CHORUS]
This is my Universe,
What I give out is what comes back.
Universe.
I must be selfish enough to care how I feel —
that's how I make my new world real.
If I've asked for a lot, then a lot must change.
I think about what's working out for me.
Universe.
Always asking for more.
(More. More. More.)
[BRIDGE]
If I want peace, I stop the brace.
If I want love, I hold my face.
If I want God — I stop looking up
and start looking in.
No one is coming to set me free —
(I rescue me. I rescue me.)
Every person I meet shows me —
me.
[CHORUS]
This is my Universe,
What I give out is what comes back.
Universe.
I must be selfish enough to care how I feel —
that's how I make my new world real.
If I've asked for a lot, then a lot must change.
I think about what's working out for me.
Universe.
Always asking for more.
(More. More. More.)
[OUTRO]
The mirror holds me,
I am never alone.
This is my Universe.
The mirror reassembles.
(Everything changes when I take my mirror back.)
