I gave my heart, gave my time, gave my love every day But all you gave was a shadow, a reason to walk away No chains can hold me, no words gonna make me stay It’s time I rise, baby, I’m breaking away Can’t live in your shadow, gotta find my light This fire inside me, it’s burning bright Got to be free, don’t need your chains Gonna walk tall, through the wind and rain Got to be free, find my own way And baby, I’m starting today! You tried to bend me, tried to keep me small But honey, I’m stronger, I’m standing tall No more silence, no more tears at night I’ve found my voice, and it’s taking flight Can’t live in your shadow, gotta find my light This fire inside me, it’s burning bright Got to be free, don’t need your chains Gonna walk tall, through the wind and rain Got to be free, find my own way And baby, I’m starting today! Can’t live in your shadow, gotta find my light This fire inside me, it’s burning bright Got to be free, find my own way And baby, I’m starting today! I see the road ahead, I see the light No more hiding in the shadows of the night Oh, I’m rising up, I’m claiming my name This heart is strong, and it won’t be tamed Got to be free, don’t need your chains Gonna walk tall, through the wind and rain Got to be free, find my own way And baby, I’m starting today!
