Beneath the Skin

I won't shrink to fit the room

Shadows on the wall keep their distance

I move through the quiet like it knows my name

Every step I take feels like permission

To leave the edges where I used to stay

The walls are listening closer now

My voice is rising through the doubt

I am wild enough to be me

Let the edges fall away

I am wild enough to be free

In the light I choose to stay (oh-oh)

Windows open wider than before

The air tastes different on my skin

I don't need the map they handed me

I'm learning where the light begins

The quiet turns into a song

My shoulders drop, the old weight gone

I am wild enough to be me

Let the edges fall away

I am wild enough to be free

In the light I choose to stay

(oh-oh, yeah)

No more folding smaller

No more quieting the flame

I stand here in the center And I answer to my name

I am wild enough to be me

Let the edges fall away

I am wild enough to be free

In the light I choose to stay

Forever in this open space
