[Chorus]
Unlearn every story that I picked up (Unlearn)
I burn all the pain that I tripped on (I burn)
Reverse animosity I slipped on (Reverse)

[Pre-Chorus]
Be big, be brave, be special
Be big, be brave, be special

Unlearn apologizing for my desire and anger
Unlearn the analyzing that tries to pull me under
Unlearn romanticizing the altar that we're saved on
I hear my mother calling, “Remember where you came from"
[Pre-Chorus]
Be big, be brave, be special
Be big, be brave, be special
[Chorus]
Unlearn animosity I slipped on
Unlearn
Unlearn
I yearn for the power that I came from (I yearn)
