Watch Me Soar (feat. Willemijn Verkaik)

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 my 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 and 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 learn 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
