Lyric

I’m still standing here, in the shadows of "before"

But I don’t want to belong in this place anymore

Looking in the mirror, asking through the night

"How long will you wear that face without a fight?"

The darkness is heavy, it’s getting hard to breathe

Stuck in a cycle I’m desperate to leave

Wiping off the tear stains, one by one

But new scars keep opening before I’m done

Yet, right here, right now, I’m making a vow

This is the end of the "then," and the start of the "now"

I’m taking a breath, I’m breaking the chain

I’m done with the running, I’m done with the pain

No more hiding in the hollow

No more shadows for me to follow

With these feet, I’m gonna find my own way!

Stand up, oh soul of mine!

The future is a canvas, pure and white

Every ounce of pain, I’ll hold it tight

And paint the colors of a brand new light

I can fly, I know it, higher than the sky

No more looking back, no more asking why

The "me" of tomorrow is calling out my name

Starting right here, I’m ending the game!

I’m saying "Goodbye" to the girl I used to be

With a gentle "Thank you" for protecting me

Lacing up my new shoes, ready for the street

Feeling the pavement beneath my feet

I won’t let their voices decide my fate

I’ll use my own voice before it’s too late

A tiny little step, that’s all I need

To plant the garden from a single seed

These small steps are gonna turn into wings!

Stand up, oh soul of mine!

The future is a story that has just begun

Turning all the damage from the things I’ve done

Into a trophy, shining like the sun

I can scream it loud, so the world can hear

"I am right here!" and I’m facing the fear

A new wind is blowing, the air is feeling sweet

Starting right here, the change is complete!

It’s okay to fall, let the gravel sting

It’s okay to cry, let the sorrow ring

Because as long as I’m breathing, the story isn’t through

Possibility is the only thing that’s true!

(Crescendo buildup)

One more time!

Stand up, oh soul of mine!

The future is already within my sight

Loving every part of me, the dark and the light

I’m going to meet the morning, burning bright

I can fly, absolutely, to the edge of the world

With every banner of my spirit unfurled

The radiant "me" is calling from the dawn

Starting right now, I’m moving on!

From this very moment

I’m moving on!
