(Slow, gentle acoustic guitar intro) (Verse 1) The window pane is cold against your hand Watching patterns that you don't understand The days bleed into one familiar grey You let another chance just slip away There’s a voice inside you, quiet as a stone Whispering that you’re safer on your own Building walls so high you cannot see the sun Before the race is ever even run (Chorus) So dare yourself to take a single step Dare yourself to take a deeper breath Dare yourself to feel the morning light And walk away from the long, familiar night Dare yourself to finally make a sound To let the tears you're holding fall to the ground The world won't wait, the pages have to turn Dare yourself to live, dare yourself to learn (Verse 2) You count the ghosts of every 'what if' said Playing out the arguments inside your head You wear your caution like a heavy coat Trying to keep your fragile heart afloat But underneath the surface, deep and true There is a fire still alive in you A flicker in the dark, a patient, steady flame Waiting for you just to speak its name (Chorus) So dare yourself to take a single step Dare yourself to take a deeper breath Dare yourself to feel the morning light And walk away from the long, familiar night Dare yourself to finally make a sound To let the tears you're holding fall to the ground The world won't wait, the pages have to turn Dare yourself to live, dare yourself to learn (Bridge) It's not a mountain that you have to climb Just one small moment, breaking space and time One simple choice to be a little brave To be the one you didn't know you'd save (Guitar solo - slow, melodic, and emotional) (Chorus) So dare yourself to take that single step Dare yourself to take that deeper breath Dare yourself to feel the morning light And leave behind the long, familiar night Dare yourself to finally make a sound Let the tears you're holding water the ground The world won't wait, the pages have to turn Dare yourself to live, dare yourself to learn (Outro) Dare yourself... To let it go... Dare yourself... To start to grow..
