[Verse 1] I used to wait for permission To take up room in the frame I measured every decision Against somebody else's name I kept my best words folded In the pocket of my coat But every door I opened Was proof I had a voice [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a perfect sign I don't need the whole road clear There is something strong in me And I'm finally letting it steer [Chorus] I know who I am I know what I bring I can stand in the middle And still choose to sing No, I won't shrink back No, I won't disappear I put both feet down And I belong right here [Verse 2] I wore doubt like a uniform Buttoned tight beneath my chin Now I leave it by the front porch With the things I won't carry in Every scar has a story Every loss taught me to see I don't need to be fearless To trust the ground under me [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a perfect sign I don't need the whole road clear There is something strong in me And I'm finally letting it steer [Chorus] I know who I am I know what I bring I can stand in the middle And still choose to sing No, I won't shrink back No, I won't disappear I put both feet down And I belong right here [Bridge] If the room gets loud, I'll breathe If the old doubts call, let them I have crossed too far to leave My own heart outside again [Final Chorus] I know who I am I know what I bring I can stand in the middle And still choose to sing No, I won't shrink back No, I won't disappear I put both feet down And I belong right here I know who I am Hear the truth ring clear I put both feet down And I belong right here [Outro] Right here I belong right here
