Lyric

Walking in these tight high heels, trying to fit the mold

Living by the stories that I was always told

A copy-paste of someone's life, a perfect masquerade

But in the mirror, looking back, I felt the colors fade

Then a knock upon my heart, a whisper in the dark

"Is this really who you are? Is this your only spark?"

The forest calls my name, where no map has ever been

I’m standing on the edge of green, ready to begin

Forge, don't follow, break the chains and run

Kick off these heels and chase the rising sun

I’m paving a new path where the wild flowers grow

Walking in the light that I’m beginning to show

Be the leader you wish you had

I’ll be the guide, I won’t look back

"It's never been done," they say with fear in their eyes

But I’m here to chase the magic under open skies

I’m not a princess waiting for a rescue in a tower

I’m writing my own story, claiming all my power

Stepping out of line, yeah, it’s scary at the start

But solitude is freedom when you listen to your heart

Underneath the stars, I’m standing tall and free

I don't need permission to be who I wanna be

Forge, don't follow, tear the ceiling down

My torn-up dress is now my royal gown

I’m diving in the deep end, unknown and afraid

But this is how a brand new world is made

Pave a new path, leave the past behind

The map is in my hands, designed by my mind

To the girl I was yesterday, crying in the night

"It’s okay, follow me, everything’s alright"

I’ve walked through the fire, I’ve broken through the cloud

Now I stand here, and I scream: I'm proud!

I'm proud of the scars and the choices I made

This is my glory that will never fade

Forge, don't follow, break the chains and run

Kick off these heels and chase the rising sun

I’m paving a new path where the wild flowers grow

Walking in the light that I’m beginning to show

Be the leader you wish you had

I’ll be the guide, I won’t look back

Forge, don't follow

(I'm the leader now)

I'm proud, so proud of who I am

(This is my vow)

I'm proud of the path I paved

Into the unknown

Yeah, I'm proud
