Sanctuary
Toni Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Ah-ah-ahahhh.
I'm sanctuary
Eh-eh-eh-ehyee.
I know I'm in this world, but I'm not of this world
I'm sanctuary.
Eh-eh-eh-ehyee. Oh yeaaah

Sanctuary.
Teach me the truth of my soul
I have a spiritual immune system against fraudulent love
The greatest chess move I play is going within
This is what puts me on game
Now I must own the role of the high priestess, of who I am
It's sanctuary.
I find sovereignty guiding me
I accept the initiation into deep
Study, to realize my sanctity as a woman
I denounce all imagery, manipulative messaging,
False worshipping & self-loathing about womanhood
I'm a mystical woman, knowing my path goes far past a physical onе

I stay patient and calm,
Knowing the divine plan for my lifе is working its thing
Out with what my life requires to be lived and expressed fully
I denounce all conditioning of hyper-independence and obsession to win

I denounce all false gods, leaders,
Celebrities, that feed into soul poverty
I have feminine faith.
Deep in my mind, there's an inner sanctuary
What is at the altar?
What are the sacrificial offerings?
I can feel it.
Maybe everything
I can feel myself being drawn to this place
I fall to my knees, and I allow through my mental bowel,
My heartfelt bowel, in this sacred cocoon, I am being rebirthed
I am grieving what I thought were goals,
I'm stripping away shame, I share the pettiness.
I know petty is played out

I release all energies and relationships
Where my present isn't recognized as a gift
Miss me with the incompetent insight
The hidden things I reveal to me in this sanctuary
Because great "I am" saw it first, and said something
And I can't unsee it
I can't unhear it
I'm really careful of the 411
I can't get in on social media
My mind is a temple, I must guard it accordingly

I'm sanctuary.
I'm sanctuary

All my life is content and for my ascension
I use it all to get more holy, more sanctified
I am walking scriptures
Personified in womanhood, heavy on the spiritual
Because divinity is in the details.
That's what makes me undeniable

I annihilate, obliterate all sorcery and generational spells
Curses, that keep me in a state of deep sleep.
A numbness to my majestic magic that's encoded in my DNA
I will not permit incompatible energies to infiltrate my sanctuary
At the core of my heart space,
Feminine mystery is downloading to my behavior,
To devotional prayer as I speak, as I receive, as I step into the room
In this temple, ceremony is going down
I bow to surrender my attachment to the
Desires of my heart happening, languid, all down
At the altar of sovereign strategy,
I vow to drink from the words spirit put in my mouth
I embody growth. Priestess swag has taken over
I feel low key sanctified
The miracles, the confidence are flowing in biblical proportions
I have wisdom inside of me
Being aligned is a lifetime of clarity for my life
I've realized in ageless knowing of self with this sanctuary
I'm sanctuary

I express and live my life in a state of engaged non-attachment
When I realize I'm sliding back into
Emotional attachment to a perspective,
I breathe deeply and return to a grounded state

I'm a sacred temple.
No one who meets me is ever the same

My body is sacred
My mind is sacred
My eyes are sacred
My conversation is sacred
My time and energy is sacred
I'm a walking, thinking, feeling sanctuary
I choose my lover, partner, and friends wisely
I'm a vessel for spiritual enlightenment,
Not spiritual entertainment

I can only allow occupancy for those that are meant for me.
I welcome synchronicity,
Flexibility with what I desire
I give reverence to the sovereign plan
For my life and humble my impulse to know

I am full of the illustration of
Divinity expressed, living the gift of life
I'm remembering my divine heritage.
As a cosmic being, I'm responsible for being present in this
The genesis of my life in existence, flows from creativity
Creativity is god.
The nucleus of life
When I declare I'm of a divine nature,
I am declaring a devotion to being creative
I have so much fun being guided by the great "I am"

My life is expressing a divine plan
Most high exposed any all hidden
Disobedience is strong hosed in my life
You are the light of my life
I'm sanctuary
I'm a physical animation of the spirit of creation
Creator, most high
I'm seeing the gospel everywhere, in all things and beings
I'm starstruck

I'm sanctuary.
Eh-eh-eh-ehyee. Oh yeaaah
I know I'm in this world, but I'm not of this world
I'm sanctuary
I don't talk the same
I don't walk the same
I don't speak the same
We ain't the same
I don't woman the same
I don't laugh the same
I don't work the same
I don't play the same
I don't sound the same
We ain't the same

I know I'm in this world, but I'm not of this world
I'm sanctuary.
Eh-eh-eh-ehyee. I'm sanctuary




Hmmmmm-oohuhh
I'm sanctuary
