Hear My Voice

(Verse 1) I used to speak in whispers, afraid of my own sound Echoes in an empty room, the quietest thing around I built my walls so carefully, I thought they made me strong But a silent heart can't sing along to freedom's song

(Pre-Chorus) But something broke inside the silence, a spark against the dark A single match, a steady flame, leaving its mark...

(Chorus) So hear my voice, it's shaking but it's real No more pretending, no more conceal This is the wound, and this is the choice This is my story, hear my voice Here's who I am, I'm standing tall I've weathered the break, I've survived the fall You can't define me, I break from the mold My truth is louder than all I've been told!

(Verse 2) I wore the masks you gave me, I played the part so well I built a prison of my own, my own personal cell But mirrors don't lie forever, they finally crack and show The strength inside the broken parts you never got to know

(Pre-Chorus) And from the cracks, the light came pouring in A new vibration underneath my skin...

(Chorus) So hear my voice, it's powerful and clear A battle cry for everyone who's ever lived in fear This is the wound, and this is the choice This is my story, hear my voice Here's who I am, I'm standing tall I've weathered the break, I've survived the fall You can't define me, I break from the mold My truth is louder than all I've been told!

(Bridge) This is more than just a sound, it's a rising from the ground It's every doubt I've ever faced, turned inside out, erased It's for the me I left behind, so quiet and so blind She's finally found her melody, and now we're singing, free!

(Guitar Solo: Soaring, emotional, and powerful. It carries the melody of the chorus, full of feeling and resolve.)

(Chorus - Full Band, Bigger, with backing vocals) So HEAR MY VOICE! (Hear my voice!) It's powerful and clear! A battle cry for everyone who's ever lived in fear! This is the wound, and this is the choice! This is my story, HEAR MY VOICE! HERE'S WHO I AM, I'M STANDING TALL! I've weathered the break, I've survived the fall! You can't define me, I break from the mold! My truth is louder than all I've been told!

(Outro) (Music pulls back, leaving just the piano and a soft drum beat) Hear my voice... (Yeah...) Here's who I am... I'm standing tall... (Music fades with the last piano note) ...I'm standing tall.
