Stories
Don’t let them take your joy
Don’t let them take your light
They’ll tell you you’re not good enough
And convince you that they’re right
-
They’ll tell you that your place
Is in the middle of the line
They’ll really stop at nothing
Just to steal your shine
-
They’ll make you feel little
They’ll give you fear too
But one day you’ll see
These limitations aren’t for you
-
These limitations they prescribe
It’s their own that they’re projecting
They may think that they are helping you
But it’s their ego they’re protecting
-
So release all these beliefs
The ones that they instilled
the stories they accepted
Their dreams that were'n’t fulfilled
-
Listen to your heart
It’s been put to the test
Listen to that voice inside
The one that knows you best
-
The voice that has a vision
The voice that sees the plan
The voice that knows your power
The voice that says you can
-
So step into that light of yours
Shine bright for all to see
A light so bright we can’t deny
The light you’re meant to be
-
Deep down you know there’s more than this
You have a song to sing
You are the creator of your story
You can do anything
-
Don’t worry about those people
The ones that gave you fear
All they truly need is love
And your song they need to hear
-
So lets rewrite that story
Go get up on that stage
Forget the past, forget the future
This is your first page
