[Intro]
(Mmm, yeah)
(Stories still untold)
(Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta... let the pen move)
(Listen close now)
[Verse 1]
These blank pages of my life, stories still untold
But yet a fairytale when things are wished in the cold
Moments missed, opportunities come and gone in the gray
But there's no time for regrets as the shadows fall away
And the pen I hold, sometimes I lose my grip on the line
Calm and steady thoughts won't form sentences of mine
But the mind of a poet is vast, an ocean deep inside
They see the big picture through the symbols where we hide
Yeah, they love to share the passion of the rhythm and the rhyme
But in the end, they don't know me, hiding from the test of time!
(They don't know me, no!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately I've been questioning my everything, how'd I get here to thirty-five?
Introspection on the road, trying to keep this sacred flame alive
Only God can hear our secret thoughts that don't come out in words
He's right there in that quiet voice, louder than the noise we heard!
(Let the wings open!)
[Beat Drop]
[Chorus]
At the utterance of my name, the pages write themselves today!
I am my own genre, washing all the old scripts away!
I had to leave, just spread my wings and fly high and free
Even when I lost my way, there was a promise calling me
I had the courage to bear down, stay strong through the heavy wind
Never let it be that I can't, but an "I will" from within!
Yeah, I've always been meant to soar!
(Meant to soar, yeah!)
[Verse 2]
I show gratitude, I care for you, I never felt fully whole
Until I laid my life down and let Him reclaim my soul
I have angels helping me, guiding my feet along the track
My family, my blessings, I'm never looking back
No more sitting and looking in, hiding the pain with a smile
I'm stepping out of the cocoon, running my own beautiful mile!
(Running my own mile, yeah!)
[Bridge]
(Speaking in tongues: Ka-ra-ba-sha-ta! Ho-san-na!)
I understand now why people worship, why they bow down in the light!
Because my relationship with Him is what keeps me sane in the fight!
I stand my ground on bended knee, I pray when I drive and clean
I'm cutting the ties to the bondage of the shadows I have seen!
Now watch the Holy Spirit breathe upon my sacred spark!
(Watch me stand! Watch me stand!)
[Chorus: Acapella Breakdown]
[Acapella]
At the utterance of my name, the pages write themselves today...
I am my own genre, washing all the old scripts away...
[Full Force Drop]
I had the courage to bear down, stay strong through the heavy wind!
Never let it be that I can't, but an "I will" from within!
Yeah, I've always been meant to soar!
(We ain't breaking down!)
[Outro]
Blank pages...
No more.
The pages write themselves.
I've always been meant to soar.
He keeps on loving me.
I am bold.
(I am bold... mmm, yeah)
[Fade Out]
[End]
