Clipped wings, I was a broken thing
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
You would wind me down
I struggled on the ground
So lost, the line had been crossed
Had a voice but I could not talk
You held me down
I struggle to fly now

But there’s a scream inside that we are frightened
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive
I don’t care if I sing off key
I found myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
Now I fly, hit the high notes
I have a voice, hear me roar tonight
You held me down
But I fought back loud
