[Verse 1]
They took my body, stole my name
Left me small inside the frame
Then school halls laughed with teeth and spite
I learned to shrink and call it life
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I swallowed hard
Every scar wrote on my heart
I kept my head down, played my part
But something stayed alive
[Chorus]
I found my voice
I found my voice
Not too late, not too late
I am more than what they made
I found my voice
I found my voice
Watch me rise, watch me stand
I am finally in my hands
[Verse 2]
Adult years came with a heavy hand
Bad luck stacked where I once could stand
Bills and grief and sleepless nights
Still I kept a sliver of light
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I nearly let it go
Some days I walked through glass and snow
But underneath what they control
There was a name for me
[Chorus]
I found my voice
I found my voice
Not too late, not too late
I am more than what they made
I found my voice
I found my voice
Watch me rise, watch me stand
I am finally in my hands
[Bridge]
In my fifth decade, I wake
With a spine they could not break
I wear my past like weathered gold
It does not own me now
[Final Chorus]
I found my voice
I found my voice
Not too late, not too late
I am more than what they made
I found my voice
I found my voice
Watch me rise, watch me stand
I am finally in my hands
I found my voice
I found my voice
And I will not back away
I am here, and here I stay
