Shedding Chains

[Intro] Whispers fade like dusk to dawn I break the shell, I claim my dawn [Verse 1] The shadows held me, quiet and tight But I learned to breathe in the fiercest light I count the scars like map pins on my skin Each one a road back to where I begin [Pre-Chorus] I shed the iron that labeled me less Shake off the chains of doubt and press [Chorus] I break these chains, I rise, I see The power waking inside of me No more listening to hollow lies I own my truth, I claim the skies [Verse 2] Step by step, a louder sound From muted whispers to a thunder loud I watch the old walls crumble and fall A fearless heart answers the call [Pre-Chorus] Breath of courage fills my chest I pull the future close to my chest [Chorus] I break these chains, I rise, I see The power waking inside of me No more listening to hollow lies I own my truth, I claim the skies [Bridge] Chains on the ground, they glitter, they glare But they’re nothing now, I’m already there I touch the horizon with fearless hands I’m writing my fate in unbreakable plans [Chorus] I break these chains, I rise, I see The power waking inside of me No more listening to hollow lies I own my truth, I claim the skies [Outro] I shed the night, I greet the dawn I’m sovereign now, I’m moving on
