Higher Than Your Walls(A)

[Verse 1] You should be ashamed of the years you took from me Crowding every room, deciding who I'd be You pushed my face toward every old mistake But I learned to stand beneath the weight [Pre-Chorus] I am not the story you wrote down in your town I am still here, and I won't bow down [Chorus] I’m calling for justice, higher than your walls For every heart you broke and every name you called I’m not here to ruin you, I’m here to make things right I’m the girl who stayed when you expected flight You picked the wrong girl, I won’t disappear I’ll grow beyond the reach of every fear [Verse 2] You took my job, then turned my family cold Told my neighbors things that never could be told I never raised a hand, I never sought your pain Still you made a battlefield of my name [Pre-Chorus] But the ones you tried to bury learned to breathe And the truth can walk on legs you cannot see [Chorus] I’m calling for justice, higher than your walls For every heart you broke and every name you called I’m not here to ruin you, I’m here to make things right I’m the girl who stayed when you expected flight You picked the wrong girl, I won’t disappear I’ll grow beyond the reach of every fear [Bridge] I know some lost their way beneath the pain Some could not bear to rise again So I’ll speak their names with open hands And ask for mercy, truth, and a fairer land Not revenge, not fire, not a crown Just a chance for every hurting soul to stand up now [Final Chorus] I’m calling for justice, higher than this place For every stolen future, every silenced face I’m not here to ruin you, I’m here to end the lie The girl you tried to break is learning how to fly You picked the wrong girl, I won’t disappear I’ll grow beyond the reach of every fear And if the highest Judge is listening tonight Let truth bring the lost ones safely into light [Outro] I’m still here I’m still growing No one left behind That’s the promise I am holding
