[Intro: Energetic guitar riff] [Verse 1] I've been running circles, chasing shadows on the wall Tired of playing second fiddle, giving it my all I'm done with the empty promises, the broken hearts It's time to rise above the ashes, start from the start [Chorus] I won't settle for little, no, I won't be denied I'm reaching for the stars, I'm gonna open wide My wings and fly away, So far, so high I'm gonna live my life, Until the day I die [guitar solo] Verse 2 I've been holding back, afraid to take a chance But I'm breaking free from these chains, dancing in the trance Of freedom and possibility, the future's in my sight I'm ready to take on the world, with all my might Chorus I won't settle for little, no, I won't be denied I'm reaching for the stars, I'm gonna open wide My wings and fly away, So far, so high I'm gonna live my life, Until the day I die [guitar solo] [Bridge: Slower tempo, building tension] They told me I could never make it, that I'd always be alone But I'm proving them wrong, I'm standing on my own I'm a force to be reckoned with, a rising tide I'm gonna leave my mark, on the other side [Chorus] I won't settle for little, no, I won't be denied I'm reaching for the stars, I'm gonna open wide My wings and fly away, So far, so high I'm gonna live my life, Until the day I die
