[Intro]
Softly now, I shed the weight I wore too long
Breathing light, I let the old scars bounce along
[Verse 1]
I walk through dawn with hands unclenched and sure
The pain once loud now whispers, soft and pure
A calendar of heartbreaks fades to a sunrise hue
I rise, independent, steady, choosing me and true
[Chorus]
I’m free, I’m bright, I’m learning how to stand alone
In every breath, a future I’m ready to own
Joy like colors exploding in the sky
Open arms, I’m alive, I won’t apologize
[Verse 2]
No echoes of goodbye can pull me back inside
I trade the storms of yesterday for gentler tides
Every step a victory, every laugh a flame
I paint my path in bold, unrestrained names
[Chorus]
I’m free, I’m bright, I’m learning how to stand alone
In every breath, a future I’m ready to own
Joy like colors exploding in the sky
Open arms, I’m alive, I won’t apologize
[Bridge]
If love comes around, it’ll fit this new design
A gentler world, a wiser heart, a brighter shine
[Chorus]
I’m free, I’m bright, I’m learning how to stand alone
In every breath, a future I’m ready to own
Joy like colors exploding in the sky
Open arms, I’m alive, I won’t apologize
[Outro]
Past weighs less now, I release, I redefine
With open arms, I greet the light, this life is mine
