I’ve been holding back my colors,
Hiding in the gray.
Keeping all my secret dreams
Safely tucked away.
But my heart keeps getting louder,
Beating like a drum.
Every whisper in my soul
Says it’s time to run.
No more waiting for the “right time,”
No more standing still.
Every fear I carried once
Bends to my will.
I’ll spread my wings,
Higher than I’ve ever been.
Every doubt I’m leaving,
I’m believing.
I’ll chase the sky,
No more asking why.
From this moment on I say
I’ll spread my dreams today.
Scared? Maybe just a little.
But I won’t step back.
Every road I choose to walk
Is my own track.
Even if I fall sometimes,
I will rise again.
Every scar will shine like proof
Of where I’ve been.
No more shrinking small inside,
No more trying to hide.
This fire in my heart
Is my start.
If the world feels far away,
I’ll still find my way.
Piece by piece I’ll build the view
That once I only knew.
I’ll spread my wings,
Let the future in.
Every tear and every win
Made this begin.
I’ll take the stage,
Turn another page.
From this moment on I say
I’ll spread my dreams today.
