[Verse 1]
I found a thread of ash and gold
Tied to the heel of my old road
It led me back through broken sleep
To the name I swore I’d never keep
The map was bent, the ink wore thin
Still I heard a gate unlock within
A dark sea rising in my chest
As if my bones remembered rest
[Pre-Chorus]
So I took the knife from all my years
Cut the rope of borrowed fears
And I let the wild wind in
Let it teach me where to begin
[Chorus]
I’m re-writing my fate
I’m turning the page
I’m not the same girl
I was yesterday
I’m re-writing my fate
I’m out of the cage
(Out of the cage)
And I’m walking my own way
[Verse 2]
I buried crowns in river mud
Gave back the grief I called my blood
Then in the mirror, pale and slow
I watched a brighter stranger grow
She had my eyes, but softer now
A steadier fire in her brow
She said, "Love, you can leave the storm"
And step into the shape you want
[Pre-Chorus]
So I took the key from all my years
Opened wide the hollow fears
And I let the wild wind in
Let it sing me back again
[Chorus]
I’m re-writing my fate
I’m turning the page
I’m not the same girl
I was yesterday
I’m re-writing my fate
I’m out of the cage
(Out of the cage)
And I’m walking my own way
[Bridge]
If the stars were stitched too tight
I can loosen them tonight
If the road was made to break
I can build a new awake
[Final Chorus]
I’m re-writing my fate
I’m turning the page
I’m not the same girl
I was yesterday
I’m re-writing my fate
I’m out of the cage
(Out of the cage)
And I’m walking my own way
Oh, I’m walking my own way
