about

Holy is not about abuse; it is an anthem of self-love. It is about finding our power and strength as women (and as non-binary people), and feeling the community of support around us. We are not defined by how others love us, but how we love ourselves and each other. I hope that if you are struggling with finding that value and strength within yourself, that this song reminds you that we are stronger together, and that you are not alone.

lyrics

In a nightmare you grabbed me
I was running but my body wouldn’t move
At 15 I was lonely
Make a broken girl feel whole

In a shadow, you “built” me
You’re everyone who’s ever let me down
At 16, I was giving
I was better than you ever deserved

I’m so good, I am holy
I’m so good, I am holy

In a nightmare I woke up
But all the faces looked the same
At 18 I was insecure
Took advantage of the way I moved

In Montréal, I saw me
Crying in the hotel bathroom
Nostalgia is a bitch, she eats me up
But nothing’s gonna break me now

I’m so good, I am holy
I’m so good, I am holy
I’m so good, I am holy
I’m so good, so good

When you close your eyes, I’m holy
Faithful as you’ve ever been
When you close your eyes, I’m holy
Never even been to church

I’m so good, I am holy
I’m so good, I am holy
I’m so good, I am holy
I’m so good, I am holy

We will carry on, wont’ you let me in
I will share your burden, unravel the weight

Do you feel ashamed, was your dress skin-tight
You are not alone, we all wear that pain

So, we weather on, like all women do
Stand up, you’re a vision
You’re sacred like a woman
