I used to try to bridge the gap
I'd give it all, get nothing back
I'd bend and break
For true love's sake
But then that dream fell through the cracks
For years I wore a heavy crown
Always so strong, no breaking down
I'd help their climb
But fell behind. I
'd watch them rise while I would drown
But here I stand, no need to yearn
For true love's given, it is not earned
Won't beg or chase
I've found my place
My heart is strong, my worth I've learned
I've done the work, I've learned to see
The songs I write help set me free
I've found my voice
I've made my choice
To stand in truth and just be me
So here I stand, no need to yearn
For true love's given, it is not earned
Won't beg or chase
I've found my place
My heart is strong, my worth I've learned
A younger me would follow blind
No boundary set, get left behind
I've drawn the line
That wasn't fine
I seek a love, a different kind
So watch me lead, my hopes are high
No sadness left, no need to cry
I've done my part, Strengthened my heart
Now I go forth where freedom lies
So here I stand, no need to yearn
For true love's given, it is not earned
Won't beg or chase
I've found my place
My heart is strong, my worth I've learned
If I'm alone, that means I am free
And I'll trust love will come to me
No heart to mend
No rules to bend
Just love that yields tranquility
