[Intro] [staccato strings, grand piano melody, driving drum beat] [Verse 1] [male tenor vocals] They told us we weren't enough Dreams too wild and the world too tough Stay in your lane, don't try to create You'll only find failure if you tempt fate We swallowed the words, let them take control The lies we believed, buried deep in our soul But the fire inside, it never burnt out It's waiting for the moment we cast off doubt The voices rise, but so does the truth A quiet strength we lost in our youth Step into the light, it's time to be free You are more than they'll ever see [Chorus] [full band enters, distorted guitars, layered vocal harmonies] What if the answer's in the lies we believed? What if the truth's been hidden underneath? The dream's not gone, it's just been delayed Let's take one step, we don't have to be afraid We're done with the lies we believed [Verse 2] [bass and drums continue, clean electric guitar stabs] They said you can't and we let it sink in Let the doubt take root, let the fear begin But what if the limits are all in our minds? What if the road's just waiting to find? The world's full of noise trying to define Who we should be, how we should shine But no one can tell us what we're meant to do The power's inside, it's always been true Now the shadows fade, the chains fall away The lies lose their grip, they can't make us stay We're stepping forward, leaving fear behind The truth was always there, waiting to find [Chorus] [driving rhythm, soaring strings] What if the answer's in the lies we believed? What if the truth's been hidden underneath? The dream's not gone, it's just been delayed Let's take one step, we don't have to be afraid We're done with the lies we believed [Bridge] [half-time feel, piano and strings focus] What if the answers... They said we were broken, but we're made to soar They built up the walls, but we're breaking the door No more hiding, no more shame We're rewriting our story, reclaiming our name [Guitar Solo] [distorted lead guitar, energetic drum fills] [Chorus] [full anthemic energy] What if the answer's in the lies we believed? What if the truth's been hidden underneath? The dream's not gone, it's just been delayed Let's take one step, we don't have to be afraid We're done with the lies we believed [Outro] [vocal ad-libs, strings swell] So here we stand, with fire inside No longer running, nowhere to hide The lies we believed are ashes and dust Now we're living the lives we know we must [final piano chord, reverb tail]
