Verse 1 They dressed me in silk, told me, “Smile for the crowd,” A princess should bow, never stand quite so proud. But I traded my crown for my boots and my bow, ’Cause the wild in my spirit was begging to grow. Verse 2 I worked that stage, but I learned something true, No spotlight could tell me exactly who to be or do. They cheered for the woman they wanted to see, But I danced for the girl who was fighting to be free. Verse 3 My mother said, “Daughter, there’s rules to this throne, Your future is chosen—you’re never alone.” But my arrows flew straight when my heart said, “Run,” And I learned that obedience ain’t always love’s way to be won. Verse 4 I split every target, broke fear from its hold, While tales of my future were already told. The bow in my hand was a piece of my soul, And chasing perfection was never my goal. Chorus I’m wild as the Highlands, untamed as the sea, No crown, no man, no role chooses me. I can dance, I can fight, I can aim, I can soar, And I don’t need permission to become something more. My body’s my own, and my heart knows the way— I’ll follow that fire till the end of my days. Verse 5 I learned that rebellion can come from a place Where a daughter just wants to be loved as she is, not replaced. And Mama was scared, trying hard to protect, But love without listening can still disconnect. Verse 6 So I faced what I’d broken instead of pretending, Found courage in truth, let old patterns start ending. I didn’t need dancing to prove I was strong— My power was mine, and it had been there all along. Verse 7 Now I shoot for my dreams with my head held high, With my feet on the earth and my eyes on the sky. I found happiness wasn’t a crown I was owed— It was choosing my heart and creating my road. From stage lights to starlight, I finally could see: The greatest freedom was becoming me.
