I know that it's hard
For you to imagine
That I'm not that young girl you once knew
I'm no longer 12
What you see is a woman
Standing in front of you
And I- I have been patient
I have been kind
I paid all dues and I gave up my time
I can't be confined to the past anymore
My wings have grown!
Everyone says
Just to be thankful
Just to be grateful
Or just let it be
But I'm tired of this waiting
It's always tomorrow
I'm done with perceptions that you've had of me
I've given you blood!
You've given me tears!
I've given my heart in so many years!
It's finally time
To fend for myself
And open my wings!
It's my time to soar, yes!
My time!
And I don't need you to love me
That's not what I asked
I just want you to see that I'm more than my past!
You have expectations, well
They're just too small!
And I'm dreaming big!
So watch me soar!
Watch me soar!
Watch me soar!
It's time to let go
Take a leap
Touch the sky
Feel the wind press against me as my wings start to fly!
Then soar!
I will soar!
Watch me soar...
Yes, I know that it's hard
For you to imagine
That I'm not that young girl you once knew
I'm no longer 12
What you see is a woman
Soaring in front of you...
