I was just a shadow in the morning light Dreams too big for a room so tight A whispered vow, a secret sea The girl I was, still hiding me And every step felt small, but mine to take The tide was high, the world awake I’ll sail, I’ll rise, the stars my guide Through storm and night, I won’t hide From timid heart to captain free The pirate dream belongs to me Maps of doubt spread on the floor I traced the lines, then wanted more Eyes on the horizon, heart like stone Learning to stand, learning alone And every fall just taught me how To breathe, to trust, to claim the now I’ll sail, I’ll rise, the stars my guide Through storm and night, I won’t hide From timid heart to captain free The pirate dream belongs to me A shadow grows, a fire in my chest The waves, the night, put me to the test But in the dark, I find my name A fleeting girl, now stakes her claim No chains can hold, no fear remains The map’s drawn clear in blood and rain I’ll sail, I’ll rise, the stars my guide Through storm and night, I won’t hide From timid heart to captain free The pirate dream belongs to me
