Lyrics
[Verse 1] You arrived with a storm in your eyes Turned the silence into a warning sign I was reaching for a life untamed You were calling me by an old name I can still feel the pull of your hands Like a promise I could not withstand Every scar had a lesson to prove Every loss made a space to move [Pre-Chorus] Now the air is changing I can feel my heart awake What we called forever Was a road I had to break [Chorus] I’m stepping out of the fire Higher, higher No looking back at the place we knew I found a pulse in the distance A new kind of resistance And every beat says I’m breaking through I’m stepping out of the fire Higher, higher Let the old world fall behind I’ve got a love for the future A fearless heart and a truth, yeah This time I’m choosing mine [Verse 2] There were nights when your memory stayed Like a vow that refused to fade But the ache became something I used A little more of the strength I had bruised Now desire has a different sound It lifts me instead of pulling me down I can want what I want without fear I can leave what was never sincere [Pre-Chorus] Hear the doors unfolding Hear the distance lose its hold All the doubt that owned me Doesn’t get to write my soul [Chorus] I’m stepping out of the fire Higher, higher No looking back at the place we knew I found a pulse in the distance A new kind of resistance And every beat says I’m breaking through I’m stepping out of the fire Higher, higher Let the old world fall behind I’ve got a love for the future A fearless heart and a truth, yeah This time I’m choosing mine [Bridge] If you hear my name in the silence Know I’m not where you left me I turned the weight into wings And made a crown from the pressure on me No more waiting for permission No more bargaining with doubt What was meant to end behind me Is the reason I am out [Final Chorus] I’m stepping out of the fire Higher, higher Every color coming back in view I found a pulse in the distance A new kind of resistance And every beat says I’m breaking through I’m stepping out of the fire Higher, higher Let the old world fall behind I’ve got a love for the future A fearless heart and a truth, yeah This time I’m choosing mine [Outro] Higher, higher This time I’m choosing mine Higher, higher I’m finally choosing mine
