Be Your Own Hero

[Verse 1]
Woke up with the doubt in my throat
Mirror said I'm smaller than my hopes
Every scar a story on my skin
Every fall a door I kick back in
[Pre-Chorus]
They said "wait your turn"
I turned and walked away
They drew the limits
I threw the page away
[Chorus]
Be your own hero
Start from zero
Watch you rise
When the weight gets heavy
Look inside your steady fire
Every step
Every stumble
You’re the thunder through the storm
Be your own hero
You’ve been powerful since you were born (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
People talk like they know your lane
Try to paint your power as a phase
You got mountains growing in your chest
You were made for more than second best
[Pre-Chorus]
When your hands are shaking
Still reach out and climb
When your heart is breaking
Turn that breaking into light
[Chorus]
Be your own hero
Start from zero
Watch you rise
When the weight gets heavy
Look inside your steady fire
Every step
Every stumble
You’re the thunder through the storm
Be your own hero
You’ve been powerful since you were born
[Bridge]
Who were you
Before the world said "too much"?
Close your eyes
Hear that voice that won’t hush
"I am brave
I am built for this fight
I am here
I am living proof of light" (hey!)
[Chorus]
Be your own hero
Start from zero
Watch you rise
When the weight gets heavy
Look inside your steady fire
Every tear
Every trial
Turns to diamonds when you roar
Be your own hero
You’re the woman you’ve been waiting for

First verse stays intimate and close-mic’d; each chorus widens with harmonies and octave doubles, final hook explodes with ad-lib runs and a key-lift-style energy bump., inspirational, motivating
