Open Your Own Door (version 4)

[Verse 1] You said, “Sit down, stay small” I carved my name in the wall Same old rules, same old chain I wore them once, felt no gain My hands got rough from the fall But I still answered the call If I’m gonna break tonight I’ll break my own damn line [Pre-Chorus] I heard the crowd go quiet I heard my blood say, “try it” One step, then two, then three That’s where I found me [Chorus] I walk my own road I choose my own name I burn my old doubt I don’t play that game I walk my own road No one holds my line I am my own voice And it sounds just fine [Verse 2] Mirror cracked in the hall Still I stood there tall Got scars like a weather map But I don’t need it wrapped They tried to name my fire Tried to tune my wire But the spark in my chest Would not take less [Pre-Chorus] I heard the crowd go quiet I heard my blood say, “try it” One step, then two, then three That’s where I found me [Chorus] I walk my own road I choose my own name I burn my old doubt I don’t play that game I walk my own road No one holds my line I am my own voice And it sounds just fine [Bridge] If I bend, I break If I wake, I wake Let the old roof shake Let the whole room ache I was never made For a borrowed life I’m alive, I’m loud I’m still mine [Final Chorus] I walk my own road I choose my own name I burn my old doubt I don’t play that game I walk my own road No one holds my line I am my own voice And it sounds just fine (Own my voice) (Own my voice)
