No longer am I that scared little girl No longer am I that timid child No longer am I that silly woman No longer am I meek or mild No longer am I waiting to move No longer am I trying to prove Anything To anyone I waited outside for my turn by the flame Until I remembered I had a name I tried so hard to be made a choice To be picked amongst many men And boys The naive little girl Who believed anything She was told That foolish young lady Who was often duped By men so shady Now! I’ve spread my wings I’ve taken flight I’ve let go of the weight I’ve let go of the fight (Music interlude) No longer am I waiting to be seen No longer am I waiting to be heard I’ve left behind the places I’ve been And headed out into the world I’ve given enough Of myself to bleed I’m now taking my pain My plight And this woman who believed She was nothing Has now claimed the sky Now! I’ve spread my wings I’ve taken flight I’ve let go of the weight I was carrying Dropped it into the fire I didn’t get to warm myself in Like everyone else I stood outside In the cold Whilst all around me Were invited in I was given no hands to hold Now I no longer want to be there I no longer want to try Now I’m stronger than ever before I AM THE FIRE — WATCH ME FLY! (Spoken with strength) I AM THE FIRE — WATCH ME FLY! (Music)
