[Intro] Hey... For anybody who's been told they're too much... Too loud... Too hopeful... Too excited... This one's for you. [Verse 1] Used to make myself smaller Just to fit inside the room Dim my light a little lower Try to keep from shining through I'd apologize for dreaming Apologize for trying Apologize for being me Like I was doing something wrong But not anymore [Pre-Chorus] God didn't put this fire in me Just to watch me hide the flame [Chorus] I'm unapologetically alive Heart wide open to this beautiful life Got scars and stories Faith and glory And a million reasons why I'm unapologetically alive Not just surviving I'm thriving tonight No permission needed I'm finally believing I was made to shine Unapologetically alive [Verse 2] Got a little older Got a little wiser Stopped comparing my chapter To somebody else's timeline Now I laugh a little louder Dance a little longer Take up all the space God created me to occupy [Pre-Chorus] God didn't put this fire in me Just to watch me hide the flame [Chorus] I'm unapologetically alive Heart wide open to this beautiful life Got scars and stories Faith and glory And a million reasons why I'm unapologetically alive Not just surviving I'm thriving tonight No permission needed I'm finally believing I was made to shine Unapologetically alive [RAP BREAK] Look at me now, got a spark in my step Used to overthink every move, every breath Now I'm running full speed and I ain't done yet Got purpose in my veins and faith in my chest No more shrinking just to fit in the room No more waiting for permission to bloom Got a dream, got a plan, got a sky full of room Watch me turn a little hope into a whole breakthrough Yeah I stumbled, yeah I fell Got a hundred stories I could tell But every chapter brought me here Now I'm living loud and crystal clear! [Bridge] I don't need approval I don't need a crown I already know whose child I am And that's enough right now [Final Chorus] I'm unapologetically alive Heart wide open to this beautiful life Got scars and stories Faith and glory And a million reasons why I'm unapologetically alive Not just surviving I'm thriving tonight No permission needed I'm finally believing I was made to shine Unapologetically alive [Outro] Turn it up... Lift your head... Take your place... And live. Unapologetically alive.
