Verse 1
I was waiting for permission
From a voice that never spoke
Living half inside the question
If I’d sink or if I’d choke
I let fear write all my sentences
Let silence choose my speed
I kept circling the edge of it
Afraid of what I’d be
Pre-Chorus
I hit the floor
I felt the truth
If nothing’s coming
I’ll break through
Chorus
I didn’t believe in me
But now I do
I see the fire
I feel it move
I was standing in my own way
Calling it the truth
I didn’t believe in me
But now I do
Verse 2
I was measuring my heartbeat
Against somebody else’s pace
Calling patience what it really was
Running scared of change
But something cracked wide open
When I stopped waiting to be sure
I don’t need to know the ending
Just what I’m stepping toward
Pre-Chorus
I’m done mistaking doubt
For depth
I choose the risk
I choose the step
Chorus
I didn’t believe in me
But now I do
I hear my name
And I answer too
I was hiding from my own strength
Calling it the truth
I didn’t believe in me
But now I do
[Bridge Anthem Lift – Half-Time or Drop]
No signs
No saving grace
Just one decision
I don’t break
I don’t need proof
I don’t need you
I needed me
And now I do
[Final Chorus Full Power]
I didn’t believe in me
But now I do
I feel my pulse
I feel it move
If this is faith
Then it’s something new
I didn’t believe in me
But now I do
I didn’t believe in me
I broke that rule
I was the wall
I ran straight through
Say it out loud
Make it true
I didn’t believe in me
But now I do
[Outro Crowd Chant / Final Hit]
Now I do
Now I do
Now I do
(I didn’t believe in me
But now I do)
