Starting over

Perched on this mountain, worn and weathered down

My talons dull, my vision fading now

These feathers that once carried me so high

Have grown too heavy, and I've forgotten how to fly

I've been living in the shadow of who I used to be

These old habits like chains won't set me free

(Chorus)

So I'm breaking off the beak that won't serve me anymore

Tearing out the claws that keep me fastened to the floor

Shedding every feather that weighs heavy on my soul

It's gonna hurt like hell, but I need to be made whole

Sometimes you gotta die to who you were before

To spread your wings and soar

(Verse 2)

I've been circling the same old patterns for too long

Singing the same tired verses to a worn-out song

But deep inside there's something calling out to me

A whisper saying "you were meant for more, break free"

Six months of pain to find my strength again

But I'd rather hurt than stay where I've been

(Chorus)

So I'm breaking off the beak that won't serve me anymore

Tearing out the claws that keep me fastened to the floor

Shedding every feather that weighs heavy on my soul

It's gonna hurt like hell, but I need to be made whole

Sometimes you gotta die to who you were before

To spread your wings and soar

(Bridge)

In the silence of the mountain

In the waiting, in the pain

Something new is slowly growing

I'll take flight again

I'll take flight again

(Final Chorus)

I've been breaking off the pieces that won't serve me anymore

Found the strength to tear away what kept me from the door

Every feather that I've shed has lightened up my soul

Yeah it hurt like hell, but now I'm finally whole

I had to die to who I was before

Now watch me soar

Watch me soar
