**Title: "Won't Own Me"** **Verse 1** Wake up with a weight on my chest again, Mind's already running before I step in. Every little thought wants to pull me apart, Like a storm keeps knocking at the door of my heart. I count every breath, every crack in the floor, Second-guess the things that I said before. Feels like these walls know my every fear, But I'm still standing, yeah, I'm still here. *(Ad-libs: "Still here..." / "Breathe... breathe...")* **Pre-Chorus** It says, *"Don't move."* I say, *"Watch me."* It says, *"You'll lose."* I won't believe it. Every shadow gets a little smaller, Every heartbeat makes me stronger. **Chorus** You won't own me, Not today. You can echo through my mind, But you can't steal my light away. No, you won't own me, Hear me say— I'm still moving through the noise, One more step, one more day. *(Call: "Who runs this mind?")* *(Response: "Not the fear!")* *(Call: "Who stands back up?")* *(Response: "I'm still here!")* **Verse 2** Some days every smile feels hard to fake, Every tiny choice feels too much to make. Heart beats fast but I'm learning slow, Courage isn't loud—it's just letting go. The voice gets sharp, tries to wear my name, Makes me think I'll never really change. But I've seen the sunrise after the rain, So I know I can do it all again. *(Ad-libs: "Again..." / "Keep going...")* **Pre-Chorus** You can shake me, You won't break me. You can chase me, You won't take me. I'm rewriting every story, Finding hope inside the worry. **Chorus** You won't own me, Not today. You can echo through my mind, But you can't steal my light away. No, you won't own me, Hear me say— I'm still moving through the noise, One more step, one more day. *(Call: "Who runs this mind?")* *(Response: "Not the fear!")* *(Call: "Who stands back up?")* *(Response: "I'm still here!")* **Bridge** *(half-time feel)* If tomorrow comes with heavy skies, I'll still meet the morning eye to eye. Even when my thoughts don't let me rest, They don't decide what's left of me yet. Silence doesn't mean surrender. Healing makes the spirit stronger. *(Ad-libs: "Let it fade..." / "I'm alright...")* **Final Chorus** You won't own me, Not today. Every scar reminds me I survived another wave. No, you won't own me, I'm okay. Anxiety can ride beside me— It will never lead the way. Every cell inside my body will be okay. *(Outro)* Still breathing... Still believing... One more step... I'm still here.
