Standing on My Own Two Feet

+ Show full styles

Packed my bags beside the doorway, One last look at my old room, All the memories on the walls, All the dreams I carried through. Mom said, “You’ll always have a home here,” Dad just smiled and shook my hand, Funny how the years keep moving, Now I’m learning who I am. [Pre-Chorus] I’m scared, but I’m ready, There’s no turning back, The road is wide open, And I’m finding my path. [Chorus] I’m standing on my own two feet, Finding out what life can be, Getting older, growing stronger, Becoming who I’m meant to be. I don’t know where this road will go, I don’t know what tomorrow brings, But I’ll take the world one step at a time, With my heart and everything. I’m leaving home, but not behind, The love that made me who I am, Now it’s time to face the world, Standing on my own two feet. [Verse 2] First night in an empty apartment, No one calling, “Dinner’s ready,” Just the sound of my own footsteps, And a feeling I’m not quite ready. Bills to pay and things to figure, Mistakes I’ll have to make, But every wrong turn teaches something, Every choice is mine to take. [Pre-Chorus] And maybe I’ll stumble, Maybe I’ll fall, But I’ll get back up again, I’m ready for it all. [Chorus] I’m standing on my own two feet, Finding out what life can be, Getting older, growing stronger, Becoming who I’m meant to be. I don’t know where this road will go, I don’t know what tomorrow brings, But I’ll take the world one step at a time, With my heart and everything. I’m leaving home, but not behind, The love that made me who I am, Now it’s time to face the world, Standing on my own two feet. [Bridge] One day I’ll look back at this moment, At the kid who walked away, And I’ll realize the fear I carried Was the price of yesterday. There are cities I’ve never seen, There are people I’ve yet to meet, There’s a whole world waiting for me, And I’m finally on my feet. [Final Chorus] I’m standing on my own two feet, And the future’s calling me, Every sunrise, every failure, Every chance is meant for me. I don’t need to know the ending, I just need to start the ride, With a little bit of courage And my family by my side. I’m leaving home, but not behind, I carry it inside my heart, Now I’m ready for the world, And ready for a brand-new start. [Outro] So goodbye to the old front door, Hello to the life ahead, I’m getting older, growing up, But I’m not afraid anymore. I don’t know what the world will bring, But whatever comes my way… I’ll face it standing on my own, On my own two feet.
