[Intro] Ooh, yeah… Ooh, I've been quiet too long… [Verse 1] I used to measure my worth by the weight of the room, Let their whispers decide what my silence should prove. But I found a crack in the ceiling of my own design, And through it, a light that doesn't ask for permission to shine. Now every stumble taught my feet a new beat, Every doubt I swallowed made my voice more complete. I don't need a sign from above to know where I stand — I've rewritten the rules with my scars as my brand. [Chorus] I don't need to fly — I just need to be still, And I trust that my heartbeat knows the way up the hill. This ain't about soaring, it's about standing upright — When the ground falls away, I become my own light. (I become my own light) [Verse 2] I stopped chasing mask of who I should be, Now I listen to the quiet that's been speaking in me. It cuts through the noise like rain through the dust, Showing me the face I was told to forget. I've let go the weight that I carried with pride, I'm holding the truth that I used to deny. So I step past the pieces I no longer need, And keep what was always a part of me. [Chorus] I don't need to fly — I just need to be still, And I trust that my heartbeat knows the way up the hill. This ain't about soaring, it's about standing upright — When the ground falls away, I become my own light. (I become my own light) [Bridge] Ooh, if you're drowning in the noise of what they say… Just press your palm against your chest — feel that sway? That's your compass, that's your thread — Not a promise, not a threat — Just a rhythm that was yours before the world got in your head. [Outro] I become… my own light… (Yeah) Not higher — just deeper in tune… Mmh, that's enough… that's enough… (Still I rise… in my own time)
