Grow

The clouds have moved and the sunlight's creeping in, this time
My eyes are open and I'm seeing everything, this time

The clarity was unbearable but a light I could not ignore
It pulls me in away from the past at such an awesome force
It's over now, I can see the sun and I won't shut my eyes
I'm reaching out, taking control, I've never felt so alive

I've awakened, self-restoration, I am my own salvation and without you, I WILL GROW

For far too long I buried and hid myself
(but it doesn't get better, you do)
Needed permission to prioritise my health
(because I always chose you)

It's so hard to open up your heart when you're scared of the dark
But I couldn't grow without you and the fire was mine to start
We're living in a time where happiness isn't even guaranteed
But I'm living proof that one day your mind can be set free

I've awakened, self-restoration, I am my own salvation and without you, I WILL GROW

Thicker skin, won't let you in, time to begin
Sink or swim, comes from within, time to begin
