inside of me

I can’t help but fly

I’m more than just a girl looking for love

More than just a face in the crowd, a number on the team

But sometimes, it’s hard to be me

Inside of me, I know who I am

Others want to define me but I let then know who I am

I stand where I stand

I kneel where I kneel

I’m someone’s daughter, niece, friend

Wrapped around my dad’s finger

My biggest fan is mom

Inside of me, I wish I could fall on all fours

I wish my face could be wet with tears

Let me stumble just once

Heroes have the right to bleed

And even stars burn to the earth

People watch for me to fall; they make wishes on me.

Men are meant to rise

Watch me ride with a cloud beneath my feet

When I get there, I’ll go higher still

Inside of me, I’m greater with the hurt

Pain; a common sense

Correlated with victory, there is no win without a loss

They’re not out to find my better part

But the part they want to find

I’ll stand holding hands with the Sun

I shine regardless of the rain

It’s not easy, I’m more,

I’m more. Inside of me.
