Armor Shining

I used to wait beneath the window

For a hero riding through the rain

But I found a fire in the shadows

And I learned to rise above the pain

No more wishing on a fading star

No more waiting for a hand to lead

I discovered who I really am

Was the one I needed all along in me

I’ve got thunder in my heartbeat

I’ve got lightning in my eyes

Every scar became a story

Every tear taught me to rise

I don’t need a prince to save me

I can face the dark alone

I’m my own knight,

armor shining I built this heart into a home

If you think I’m easy breaking

If you think I’ll run and hide

Come and try me,

come and try me

I’ve got courage on my side

I’ve crossed oceans made of doubt

Walked through castles built on lies

Now the chains are falling down

And I’m done apologizing for my light

I don’t need a perfect ending

I don’t need a storybook disguise

I’ll write every page before me

With a fearless pen and open eyes

I’ve got thunder in my heartbeat

I’ve got lightning in my eyes

Every scar became a story

Every tear taught me to rise

I don’t need a prince to save me

I can face the dark alone

I’m my own knight,

armor shining I built this heart into a home

If you think I’m easy breaking

If you think I’ll run and hide

Come and try me,

come and try me

I’ve got courage on my side

Let the towers shake around me

Let the dragons breathe their flame

I have faced my deepest fears And I came back stronger than

I came

No more waiting,

no more wondering

No more asking

for permission

I am more than someone’s rescue

I am my own

revolution

I don’t need a prince to save me

I can face the dark alone

I’m my own knight,

armor shining I built this heart into a home

If you think I’m easy breaking

If you think I’ll run and hide

Come and try me,

come and try me

I’ve got courage on my side

I don’t need a prince to save me

I’m the flame I’m looking for

I’m my own knight,

standing fearless

And I’m knocking down the door
