Lyric

Let me sing it loud, let me sing it clear

Let my own name reach my own ear

All that noise, all that glare—disappear

I only want my song in here

Let me sing it loud, let me sing it true

Let the sound come back like it always knew

I breathe, I rise, I break on through

I only want my song—my song—my song

There’s a storm of tone that won’t unwind

A restless wire in the back of the mind

My little whisper can’t cross the air

Can’t find my face, can’t find me there

So I open up, I aim my chest

Turn breath to light, turn ache to rest

Not to win, not to prove, not to fight

Just to place my heart in my own sight

If my words fall short, I’ll stretch them wide

If my hands feel small, I’ll let them ride

On a line of sound, on a steady tide

To tell me I’m here—tell me I’m alive

Let me sing it loud, let me sing it clear

Let my own name reach my own ear

All that noise, all that glare—disappear

I only want my song in here

Let me sing it loud, let me sing it true

Let the sound come back like it always knew

I breathe, I rise, I break on through

I only want my song—my song—my song

I don’t need a throne, I don’t need a sign

Just a simple vow in a simple time

A prayer with rhythm, a pulse with grace

A quiet flame in an empty space

I fold the doubt like paper cranes

Let them float away in steady refrains

Round and round, I return again

To the one pure note that calls my name

If the world is sharp, I’ll soften slow

If the room is cold, I’ll warm my glow

If the noise won’t end, I’ll overflow

Till I hear myself—till I know I know

Let me sing it loud, let me sing it clear

Let my own name reach my own ear

All that noise, all that glare—disappear

I only want my song in here

Let me sing it loud, let me sing it true

Let the sound come back like it always knew

I breathe, I rise, I break on through

I only want my song—my song—my song

Ooh—

Let it ring, let it run, let it roll

Ooh—

Let it lift, let it hold my soul

Ooh—

Not a shout, not a show, just fire

Ooh—

A simple sound, climbing higher

I sing to gather what I scatter

I sing to make the inside matter

I sing till the edges fall away

I sing till the night turns soft and stays

No more chasing, no more thread

Just breath and bloom where I’m led

I call, I answer, I appear

I keep my song close, I keep it near

Let me sing it loud, let me sing it clear

Let my own name reach my own ear

All that noise, all that glare—disappear

I only want my song in here

Let me sing it loud, let me sing it true

Let the sound come back like it always knew

I breathe, I rise, I break on through

I only want my song—my song—my song

My song, my song

My song, my song

Let me sing it loud

My song, my song

I only want my song
