Change Me

I lift my voice a little higher

Let the first note meet the light

I was speaking from the floor

Keeping every feeling small

Now I lean into the air

Let the sound rise through it all

Every word begins to open

Every breath becomes a line

I can feel the room turn softer When the brighter note is

mine Take it up just one more step

Let it land above the doubt

Hold me in the thinner air

Till the heart comes

singing out I am not the same,

and I thank the flame For the fight that taught my bones

their name If freedom calls through the ringing pain Let it change

me,

change me

again I am not the same,

no I won't be tamed Every bruise became a banner raised If

it's for the free,

let the cost remain Let it change me,

change me again

I don't need a different face

Just a little more sky Give the melody some room Let it

open when I try

Small turns make a body new Soft changes start to show

When the center moves an

inch

Even quiet starts to glow

Higher than before Closer to the truth Hold the note and let

it bloom (ooh) Higher than before I can feel it move Lift

my voice a little higher Let it carry,

clear and bright Lift my voice a little

higher Keep it floating through the night Lift my voice a

little

higher Not too far,

just one more line Lift my voice a little

higher Till the song feels more alive A

little higher now

A little higher now
