Verse 1: I've been standing in this corner Where the walls close in on me Telling myself there's no way out This is just how it has to be Every door I tried was locked before So I stopped reaching for the key But something's stirring in my chest tonight A whisper saying I could leave Pre-Chorus: What if all these chains Were never really there? What if I've got wings Hidden everywhere? Chorus: I'm breaking free from the story that I learned From the cage I built with every bridge I burned No more "I can't," no more standing still I'm finding out I've always had the will The power was mine, just waiting to ignite I'm breaking free, I'm stepping into light Verse 2: They say the elephant doesn't pull Against the rope that held her small She doesn't know she's ten times stronger Than the stake, the rope, the wall But I'm not staying tethered To the limits of my past I'm testing every boundary now And I'm breaking through at last Pre-Chorus: These voices in my head Saying "don't you even try" Were never mine to keep It's time to say goodbye Chorus: I'm breaking free from the story that I learned From the cage I built with every bridge I burned No more "I can't," no more standing still I'm finding out I've always had the will The power was mine, just waiting to ignite I'm breaking free, I'm stepping into light Bridge: One step, and then another Small victories add up The world opens wider When you dare to call the bluff Of every fear that told you You're not strong enough to try Watch me rise, watch me climb Watch me fly Final Chorus: I'm breaking free from the story that I learned From the cage I built with every bridge I burned No more "I can't," no more standing still I discovered I've always had the will The power was mine, just waiting to ignite I'm breaking free, I'm stepping into light Yeah, I'm breaking free tonight Outro: I'm breaking free I'm breaking free The door was never locked I just needed to believe
