Break Free Lyrics

I carried every word that told me who to be
I followed every road that never felt like me
I kept my fire hidden underneath the noise
I forgot the sound of my own voice
Then something started moving deep inside my chest
A feeling I had buried wouldn't let me rest
I felt the walls around me starting to disappear
And for the first time, I'm finally here

I don't need permission, I don't need a sign
I don't need somebody telling me what's mine
I can feel the pressure breaking through the skin
Something in me is waking, something's pulling me in

Break free from everything that held me down
Break free, I hear my own voice now
No more hiding, no more living out of fear
I can feel my heart beating
I can feel myself right here
Break free

I stopped carrying the weight of everybody's doubt
I stopped waiting for the moment someone would let me out
The door was never locked, the sky was always there
I was holding on to limits that were never really real
Now every step I take feels different underneath
There's a rhythm in my body, there's a fire in my feet
I don't know where I'm going, and I don't need to know
I only know I'm moving, I only know I won't go back

Don't need permission, I don't need a sign
I don't need somebody telling me what's mine
I can feel the pressure breaking through the skin
Something in me is waking, something's pulling me in

Break free from everything that held me down
Break free, I hear my own voice now
No more hiding, no more living out of fear
I can feel my heart beating
I can feel myself right here
Break free, break free

Maybe freedom isn't somewhere far away
Maybe it's the moment you stop asking them to stay
Maybe all the chains were only in your mind
Maybe you were waiting for yourself to come alive
And now I feel it, I feel it in my blood
I feel it in the river, I feel it rising up

Break free, I don't need to hide anymore
Break free, I know what I'm fighting for
No more waiting, no more living out of fear
I can feel my heart beating
I can feel myself right here
Finally here
