(Verse 1 - Soft & Vulnerable) I used to count the cracks upon the floor Too terrified to reach out for the door A shadow moving quiet through the halls Building up these high and silent walls But the air is changing, I can feel the sting Of every song I was too afraid to sing. (Chorus - Powerful & Open) Now I’m stepping out, no longer looking back Turning every grey sky into gold from black With a little respect for the heart inside I’ve found the place where I no longer hide I’m standing tall, I’m finally free The version of myself I was meant to be. (Verse 2 - Driving Rhythm) I look around and see the hands I hold The stories that we’ve shared and yet untold Your trust is like a bridge across the dark A single word that fanned a tiny spark I’m not alone, I’ve got the strength of ten I’ll never be that frightened soul again. (Bridge - Emotional Peak) If you just believe, the mountains start to move There’s nothing left to fear, nothing left to prove I can take the weight, I can take the fall Because I finally learned to stand through it all! (Chorus - Powerful & Open) Now I’m stepping out, no longer looking back Turning every grey sky into gold from black With a little respect for the heart inside I’ve found the place where I no longer hide I’m standing tall, I’m finally free The version of myself I was meant to be. (Outro - Fading Acoustic) Just believe... I’m standing for myself. (No longer scared).
