They told me how to walk
They told me how to talk
Painted me a perfect frame
And asked me not to break
I tried to fit the mold
But my colors bled too bold
Whispers turned to pointed stares
When I dared to breathe my air
Now I see the chains were mine
Keys were in my hands all the time
I'm gonna live my own life
Paint the sky with my own light
No more shadows on the wall
I'll stand tall or I'll stand small
But it's my call
My own life
They mapped out all my roads
Weighed me down with shoulds
But the wind it sings my name
In a tune they can't contain
Now I see the chains were mine
Keys were in my hands all the time
I'm gonna live my own life
Paint the sky with my own light
No more shadows on the wall
I'll stand tall or I'll stand small
But it's my call
My own life
Every scar a story
Every step my glory
No more borrowed dreams
I'm the voice inside this melody
I'm gonna live my own life
Paint the sky with my own light
No more shadows on the wall
I'll stand tall or I'll stand small
But it's my call
My own life
