[Verse1] Its been a long time since I could hear myself think
The thoughts of kindness and love and a happier life
Filled with pleasure of knowing I'm wanted and loved
As a tempting thought of someone from sunrise to midnight
Thoughts of pleasure and warmth and a want to take flight
Always looking for touches that lead into the night
Being sought after and chased for a glimpse of my smile
And a look or a whisper making my heart lift a mile
Its been a long time since Ive been able to talk
To make my own mind and walk my own walk
To realise that I am actually beautiful and tall
And that someone would be lucky to know me at all
Or listen to my sentences and take my advice
Or to speak to me softly and make me feel nice
Its been a long time since seeing myself in the mirror
Understanding Im a leader and not just a pillar
That Ive been the star of the show all along
And my voice being truest when I sing my own song
Thoughts of pleasure and warmth and a want to take flight
Always looking for touches that lead into the night
Being sought after and chased for a glimpse of my smile
And a look or a whisper making my heart lift a mile
What a rush it is to know how high I can go on my own
Knowing I didn't need anyone else and I can do it alone
That I can decide what is good and is right
That for me those who live for me are my light
Thoughts of pleasure and warmth and a want to take flight
Always looking for touches that lead into the night
Being sought after and chased for a glimpse of my smile
And a look or a whisper making my heart lift a mile
No longer a captive of being afraid to tell all
Of mistakes or achievements that make me feel small
That show how Im regarded with greatness and awe
And raise me up high, lift my feet from the floor
I soar, I soar, I soar.
A note from the lyricist
A song about coming to terms with being on your own and letting yourself shine. You dont have to make yourself small to make others feel good about themselves. Rise up and shine your true light. Its who you should be. Its who you are.
