Verse 1 Locked in a tower, they told me my worth, Said I belonged to a room, not the world or the earth. But I learned on that pole how to balance and sway, While dreaming of freedom that waited someday. Verse 2 They kept me isolated, kept watch on my door, Told me the outside would hurt me much more. But every late night when the club lights would glow, I practiced my power in moves down below. Chorus So let down my hair, let the whole world stare, I earned every scar, every step to get there. I spin, I rise, I won’t live scared— You can’t cage a woman who’s learned to be dared. From the tower to the stage, watch me finally breathe, I didn’t need a prince—I learned to set me free. Verse 3 My hair was their chain, but I turned it to gold, Every strand held a story they never could hold. I braided my courage through pain and despair, Then climbed down that tower with fire in my stare. Verse 4 The floor was my battlefield, the pole was my throne, I learned that my body belonged to me alone. Every drop, every bruise, every night I survived, Taught me freedom ain’t given—it’s something you fight. Chorus So let down my hair, let the whole world stare, I earned every scar, every step to get there. I spin, I rise, I won’t live scared— You can’t cage a woman who’s learned to be dared. From the tower to the stage, watch me finally breathe, I didn’t need a prince—I learned to set me free. Verse 5 Then somebody came calling, but I wasn’t naïve, I’d heard pretty promises from the walls where I grieved. I opened my eyes, learned to question the lies, And stopped letting fear make the rules of my life. Verse 6 They wanted my silence, my beauty, my youth, But I found something stronger—the power of truth. I danced through the darkness, I laughed through the pain, And turned every tear into fuel for my flame. Verse 7 I ran through the night with my heels in my hand, No tower behind me, no one giving commands. The road wasn’t easy, the future unsure, But freedom felt sweeter than anything before. Verse 8 Now when I climb that pole, it’s not for their eyes, It’s a woman reclaimed underneath all the lights. My body, my story, my rhythm, my choice— I found my own freedom when I found my voice. Verse 9 So here’s to the girl they thought they could own, Who turned every prison to steps of her own. My happily ever after ain’t somebody’s decree— It’s standing here fearless, completely me. My hair may be long, but my spirit is free, I escaped the tower—and came home to me. Final Chorus So let down my hair, let the whole world stare, I earned every scar, every step to get there. I spin, I rise, I won’t live scared— You can’t cage a woman who’s learned to be dared. From the tower to the stage, watch me finally breathe, I didn’t need a prince—I became my own key.
