Lyrics
[Intro] A single note, a held-back flame I feel the future call my name [Verse 1] You found me where the old roads ended With a heart still learning how to bend I wore my doubt like a second skin Till your eyes said, “Let the new begin” No more waiting for a sign to rise No more shrinking underneath these skies I can feel the locked door giving way I am choosing what I came to say [Pre-Chorus] If I lose what I knew I will make something true Every scar becomes a compass tonight [Chorus] I’m stepping into the open With my whole heart unbroken You can hear the sound of change in me I’m done asking permission This is my decision I was born for more than what used to be Raise me higher, take me farther I am stronger, I am brighter When the fear says stop, I answer, “Watch me” I’m stepping into the open With my whole heart unbroken This is where I finally set me free [Verse 2] There were names I had to leave behind me There were dreams that never learned to stay But the silence taught me how to find me And the loss cleared out a better way Now your touch feels like a spark returning Not a rescue, not a borrowed light Two wild hearts with every lesson burning Turning all this tension into life [Pre-Chorus] If the past calls my name I won’t carry its chains Every step is a promise I make tonight [Chorus] I’m stepping into the open With my whole heart unbroken You can hear the sound of change in me I’m done asking permission This is my decision I was born for more than what used to be Raise me higher, take me farther I am stronger, I am brighter When the fear says stop, I answer, “Watch me” I’m stepping into the open With my whole heart unbroken This is where I finally set me free [Bridge] Let the old world fall away Let the new one know my name I have waited long enough to feel alive If you’re ready, take my hand We can build it where we stand Turn the midnight into something we can find [Breakdown] Oh, I can feel it Oh, I believe it No looking back, no looking back [Final Chorus] I’m stepping into the open With my whole heart unbroken You can hear the sound of change in me I’m done asking permission This is my decision I was born for more than what used to be Raise me higher, take me farther I am stronger, I am brighter When the fear says stop, I answer, “Watch me” I’m stepping into the open With my whole heart unbroken This is where I finally set me free [Outro] Set me free I’m becoming who I’m meant to be
