Lyrics

light’s out, heart closed,
I was playin’ it safe
But the fire inside?
It refused to behave
Now I crack the silence,
step through the gate
Eyes wide open — (I’m awake)
I was lost in a dream,
like a ghost in the crowd
Kept my light in a cage,
never let it out
But the night kept calling,
whispering my name
Said “you’re more than silence,
break the chain”
Mirror shows a stranger
with a tired face
But I see the fire, it won't erase
Tried to run, tried to
hide from the spark
But now I’m dancing with the dark
 
(Every scar, every tear I’ve cried)
(Built the wings I use to fly)
No more fear, no more doubt
Can’t hold me down now
 
I’m awake, wide awake
Like a phoenix
I rise through the flame
No more chains, no more fake
This is me and I’m not gonna break
I’m alive, feel the quake
Of my heart as the old world shakes
From the ash, I create
A new dawn – (I’m awake)
Used to follow shadows,
walked the narrow line
But now I paint the sky with colors that are mine
Every heartbeat louder,
I won't be tamed
I found my power,
I reclaimed my name
 I was sleepwalkin’, deep in the night
Now I shine like stars,
born to ignite
Took the pain,
turned it into a weapon
Watch me rise in a second
From the silence, I speak
From the bottom, I peak
Ain’t no dream – I’m the realest thing
AWAKE and I’m the queen
No more lies to define me
No more doubt to confine me
This voice, this soul — all mine
It’s my time, my time
I’m awake, wide awake
Like a phoenix
I rise through the flame
No more chains, no more fake
This is me and I’m not gonna break
I’m alive, feel the quake
Of my heart as the old world shakes
From the ash, I create
A new dawn – (I’m awake)
Now I breathe in truth,
no mask to wear
What you see is me –
bold, raw, and rare
From the ashes I rise,
no more breaks
This is not a dream — (I’m awake)
