(Verse 1)
Younger me, stop hiding in the shadows
You were never born to fade away
Every time they told you to stay quiet
You carried storms you didn’t have to take
The fight to be heard was never yours to battle
You were always enough from the start
You kept shrinking just to fit inside their world
While carrying galaxies inside your heart
(Pre-Chorus)
One day you’ll see it
The fire in your bones
The cracks that felt like breaking
Were carving out your soul
(Chorus)
So let your voice ring loud and clear
Like thunder breaking through the fear
Let your light shine bright and golden
Even when the night feels cold and broken
Don’t apologise for the space you take
Fill every inch, let the whole world shake
Push the boundaries wider than before
You were made for so much more
And I swear the people standing near
Already see the beauty here
You just have to learn
To see yourself the way they do
(Verse 2)
Life gets better, I promise you it does
The heavy days won’t always stay
Amazing hearts will guide you through the darkness
When your own strength starts to drift away
And asking for help is not surrender
It’s courage wearing honest skin
You don’t have to hold the weight alone now
You don’t have to fight to fit in
(Pre-Chorus)
There’ll be nights of healing
And mornings full of grace
You’ll finally stop running
From your own reflection’s face
(Chorus)
So let your voice ring loud and clear
Like thunder breaking through the fear
Let your light shine bright and golden
Even when the night feels cold and broken
Don’t apologise for the space you take
Fill every inch, let the whole world shake
Push the boundaries wider than before
You were made for so much more
And I swear the people standing near
Already see the beauty here
You just have to learn
To see yourself the way they do
(Bridge)
You were never too much
Never hard to love
Never meant to disappear
You were born to rise above
Every scar became a lesson
Every fall became a spark
Now the child who feared the silence
Is singing louder than the dark
(Final Chorus)
So let your voice ring loud and clear
Let the whole world stop and hear
Let your light burn bright and golden
Like a sunrise finally unfolding
Never apologise again
For existing as you are within
Take your place and stand up tall
You were worthy through it all
And one day when you finally see
The soul everybody else could see
You’ll realise the fight was never
About becoming someone new
It was learning how to love
The person that was always you.
