What a beautiful dream 'til I wake up Starlight fading from my eyes Silence fills this empty room The colors now don't shine so bright I had to break out of that cage While I still remembered me I never worried what comes next I only needed to be free I thought the hardest part was done When I finally closed that door But I think that I've forgotten What I wanted freedom for No voice to tell me where to go Noone is here to guide my hand I fought so hard to be myself For freedom I don't understand There's no one here to tell me why No hand to point me where to go I wanted wings, I wanted sky But never learned to fly alone I begged to finally have a choice Now every choice belongs to me I wanted silence from their voice I never knew how loud the silence could be I catch myself still asking first For permission no one gives Still measuring the things I want Against how they said to live I second guess the smallest things Like someone's keeping score somewhere I'm alone in the empty But I still can feel them there I used to have a purpose Had a path laid out for me Now every answer that I knew Raises questions suddenly I'm learning how to trust myself But I wish I couldn't feel It's hard to build a new life When the fear still feels so real There's no one here to tell me why No hand to point me where to go I wanted wings, I wanted sky But never learned to fly alone I begged to finally have a choice Now every choice belongs to me I wanted silence from their voice I never knew how loud the silence could be There's something waiting in the dark A life I've never had before And though I cannot see it yet I know what I've been fighting for I'll make mistakes, I'll lose my way I'll have to learn it as I go But every step I take from here Will carve a path that's mine alone There's no one here to tell me why No hand to point me where to go I wanted wings, I wanted sky But never learned to fly alone I begged to finally have a choice Now every choice belongs to me I wanted silence from their voice I never knew how loud the silence could be
