Verse 1
I was a seed in the shadows,
Sleeping through the spring.
The world kept spinning past me,
I didn’t feel a thing.
Every door I tried to open
Felt too heavy, felt too soon—
Till I learned that there’s a beauty
In the slow rise of the moon.

Pre-Chorus
They told me I was running out of time,
That my window had already closed.
But a heart doesn’t answer to clocks or to lines,
It wakes when it’s ready to grow.
Chorus
I’m a late bloom,
But the colours are deep,
Every petal a story
That my roots had to keep.
Through the rain, through the frost,
I was learning my truth—
Now I’m here, in the sun,
I’m a late bloom.

Verse 2
Every scar on my branches
Is a map of where I’ve been,
Every heartbreak a season
That taught me how to bend.
I’ve been kissed by the thunder,
I’ve been held by the night—
Now I’m dancing with the daylight,
And it feels like it’s mine.

Pre-Chorus
They told me I was falling behind,
But the finish line’s not what I chase.
I’ve been building a garden inside,
And it’s finally finding its place.

Chorus
I’m a late bloom,
But the colours are deep,
Every petal a story
That my roots had to keep.
Through the rain, through the frost,
I was learning my truth—
Now I’m here, in the sun,
I’m a late bloom.

Bridge
Don’t rush the river,
Don’t push the tide.
Some dreams need the dark
Before they can rise.
I’m not late, I’m not early,
I’m exactly on time—
For the love that I’m giving,
For this life that is mine.

Final Chorus
I’m a late bloom,
And my colours won’t fade,
Every moment it took
Made the garden I’ve made.
Through the storms, through the years,
I was finding my truth—
Now the world finally sees,
I’m a late bloom.
