Thunder Beneath the Dress

They wrote my story in a tower

Waiting for a prince to come

But I’ve been building up my power

With my own two hands,

one by one I’ve heard the whispers,

felt the pressure

Telling me to stay in line But I was never made for

cages I was born to claim what’s mine

I don’t need a hand to save me I don’t need a

hero’s kiss I’ve got fire in my heartbeat And I’m done pretending

this

I’m no damsel in distress I don’t need you to come running

I can face the wilderness

I can rise when I am falling

I’ve got thunder in my chest Got a sword beneath this dress

Write me strong, write me fearless

I’m no damsel in distress

I’ve walked through storms without a shelter

Turned my tears into a flame

Every scar became a lesson Every loss became my name If the

road gets dark before

me I’ll be lightning in the

rain

I won’t wait beside the window

I’ll be breaking through the chains

I don’t need a hand to save me

I don’t need a crown or kiss I’ve got courage in my

bloodstream And I’m standing tall in this

I’m no damsel in distress I don’t need you to come running I

can face the wilderness I can

rise

when I am falling I’ve got thunder in my chest Got a

sword beneath this dress

Write me strong, write me fearless I’m no damsel in distress

If you want to walk beside me Come with open eyes and

hands Don’t arrive to take my freedom Stand with me and understand

I can love you without losing I can need you and be

free But the greatest rescue story

Is the one I write for me

I’m no damsel in distress I’m the spark and I’m the flame

I can face the wilderness I can call myself by name I’ve

got thunder in my chest

I’m alive and nothing less Write me bold,

write me fearless I’m no damsel in distress

No tower, no cage,

no waiting No ending someone else can write I’m the hero of

my story

And I’m stepping into the light (stepping into the light)
