Why this song exists?
Most of us were never taught how to truly listen to our bodies.
We grew up in a culture that values productivity, speed, results, and constant mental activity — often at the cost of the body. Over time, many of us learned to ignore bodily signals, push through discomfort, disconnect from sensations, or even treat the body with criticism, judgment, and impatience.
Pain becomes an enemy.
Limitations become something to fight.
Ageing becomes something to fear.
At Empowered Ageing, we believe it’s time for a different message.
A new relationship with the body
Your body is not a problem to fix.
Your body is not a machine to push.
Your body is your home.
Just like any home, it needs care, attention, respect, and presence.
And just like family or close friends, it needs to be treated with kindness, patience, acceptance, and love.
When someone we care about struggles, we listen.
We try to understand.
We adapt.
We support.
Why should our relationship with our body be any different?
My Body, My Home was created as a gentle reminder — and an invitation — to rebuild this relationship.
The Empowered Ageing message behind the song
This song reflects the principles we apply every day at Empowered Ageing:
- Listening instead of forcing
- Respect instead of judgment
- Presence instead of distraction
- Connection instead of disconnection
In our training sessions, movement systems, and daily practices, we encourage people to move with their bodies, not against them. To reconnect with sensation, awareness, and trust. To understand that strength, vitality, and longevity grow from cooperation — not control.
This message is especially important as we grow older, but in truth, it applies at any stage of life.
An invitation
As you listen to this song, we invite you to:
- Slow down
- Feel your breath
- Sense your body from the inside
- Notice how it responds when you offer attention instead of pressure
This is not about perfection.
It’s about relationship.
Your body has been with you your entire life.
It carries your memories, your experiences, your resilience.
And it deserves to feel at home.
🎶 Lyrics —
My Body, My Home
erse 1
My body is my home, my place to stay
It’s here for me, night and day
While my mind runs fast, from task to task
My body waits, it always has
Verse 2
It serves me well, every single hour
Quiet strength, gentle power
My closest friend, so kind, so true
Always giving, asking little too
Chorus
So I slow down, I come back home
To this body I have always known
With love and care, I choose to be
In balance, trust, and harmony
Verse 3 (New – Apology & Awareness)
There were times I forgot your voice
I rushed ahead, I made that choice
I wasn’t present, I couldn’t see
How much you were giving me
Pre-Chorus (New – Turning Point)
So I’m sorry for the days I ran
Without holding your gentle hand
Chorus (Soft Repeat)
Now I slow down, I come back home
To this body that’s never alone
With love and care, I choose to be
Here with you, in harmony
Bridge (Updated – Partnership & Dance)
Now we move like a loving dance
Breath and motion in gentle trance
I lead, I follow, side by side
No fight, no war, just living life
Verse 4
I breathe you in, I feel each part
Listening closely, mind and heart
And when a challenge comes my way
I meet it with a joyful face
Final Chorus
Because we grow through what we try
Through every fall, through every rise
Together now, the path is clear
My body, my friend, I’m here
Outro (New – Commitment)
I’m here for you, and you for me
One life, one path, one journey
My body, my home
My lifelong friend
