**Verse 1** Used to carry all that weight in my chest Every memory felt like it wouldn’t rest Tears fell quiet, I ain’t say it out loud Smiled through the storm, hid the pain in a crowd Every scar had a story I couldn’t erase Every night I was fighting just to find my place But I’m standing here now, breathing deeper than before Found a light in the dark I ain’t ignoring anymore **Pre-Chorus** I let it go… piece by piece Every broken part of me found peace No more chains holding my soul down low I finally feel it… I finally know **Chorus** I’m free, yeah I’m finally healing No more hiding how I’m feeling All the pain don’t own me no more I found my way back to my core I’m free, let the past fall behind me All that hurt can’t define me I’m rising up, I’m whole again This is where my life begins **Verse 2** Used to blame myself for things I couldn’t control Gave my heart away, left holes in my soul But I learned my worth, yeah I’m claiming my name Ain’t no more living in that old pain I forgave what broke me, even when it was hard Turned my wounds into wisdom, every scar into art Now I move with a peace you can’t take away I survived every night just to see this day **Pre-Chorus** I let it go… set it free All the weight that was crushing me No more shadows where I used to stay I see the sun, I’m on my way **Chorus** I’m free, yeah I’m finally healing No more hiding how I’m feeling All the pain don’t own me no more I found my way back to my core I’m free, let the past fall behind me All that hurt can’t define me I’m rising up, I’m whole again This is where my life begins **Bridge (soft, soulful)** You can hear it in my voice now See the light inside my eyes now I done walked through fire, didn’t fold Turned that hurt into gold I’m not who I was before Closed that chapter, opened doors And I swear I’m never going back I’m too strong for that **Final Chorus (big, emotional)** I’m free, yeah I’m finally healing Every breath got new meaning All the pain don’t own me no more I found my way back to my core I’m free, let the past fall behind me All that hurt can’t define me I’m rising up, I’m whole again This is where my life begins **Outro (fade, spoken/sung)** No more chains… no more fear I made it out… I’m still here Finally me… finally whole Freedom lives inside my soul 🎶
