The World Begins Right Here

[Verse] I know every angle of this quiet room Where familiar shadows used to softly bloom I used to think the ceiling kept the storm away A comfortable shelter where the cautious stay Replaying all the memories I thought were good Telling myself safety meant misunderstood [Pre-Chorus] Then a tremor shook the quiet space A sudden light across a tired face Just a whisper of the world beyond the seam And I woke up inside another person's dream [Chorus] There’s a horizon that I wasn’t meant to see A whole wide sky that isn't asking for a fee I spent a lifetime drawing borders on the floor Convinced that nothing better waited past the door Now the fear is fading, and the air is clear And the world begins right here [Verse] I lived inside the borders that they drew around Convinced that it was dangerous to touch the ground They said that love was quiet, keeping small and still A cage made out of kindness, bending to their will I carried all their doubt like it belonged to me Mistaking this protection for reality [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause a tremor shook the quiet space A sudden light across a tired face Just a whisper of the world beyond the seam And I woke up inside another person's dream [Chorus] There’s a horizon that I wasn’t meant to see A whole wide sky that isn't asking for a fee I spent a lifetime drawing borders on the floor Convinced that nothing better waited past the door Now the fear is fading, and the air is clear And the world begins right here [Bridge] One step across the threshold, no turning back Leaving behind every painted track My feet hit the ground and the ground doesn't break It’s an unfamiliar rhythm that I get to make [Ascending string crescendo, huge dynamic build] No map, no script, no walls to hold Just an unwritten life ready to unfold! [Chorus] There’s a horizon that I wasn’t meant to see! A whole wide sky that isn't asking for a fee! I spent a lifetime drawing borders on the floor Convinced that nothing better waited past the door Now the fear is fading, and the air is clear And the world begins right here! [Outro] Right here. No borders anymore. Just the open sky... And the world begins right here.
