Battle Cry

I tried to make you proud You said I had my head in the clouds I've spent a lifetime Stuck in the same lines Gathered up each grain of sand Built my castle in your hands Then I spent a lifetime Trying not to cry Look at me now The diamonds I've found This might not last forever But it might do something better I believe this is bigger than you and me You will see the crowds swelling in revelry I am ready and if that means goodbye Then it's time to fly into the light Nothing but sky and this strong battle cry You telling me I'd never make it Left me needing to prove you mistaken I've spent a lifetime Waiting for my time There was something in the wreckage A tiny piece of who I knew I'd be I'm setting it free Look at me now The diamonds I've found This might not last forever But it might do something better I believe this is bigger than you and me You will see the crowds swelling in revelry I am ready and if that means goodbye Then it's time to fly into the light Nothing but sky and this strong battle cry Stopped asking questions Stopped asking permission Now I won't come undone or rebel And all that's left are the stories we tell I believe this is bigger than you and me You will see the crowds swelling in revelry I am ready and if that means goodbye Then it's time to fly into the light Nothing but sky and this strong battle cry
