I Found My Voice

Intro

oh-oh, ah

(come on) ah-ah

Verse

I used to move like water, quiet on the floor

Counting every footstep, hiding at the door

But there's a light in my chest that won't sit still no more

I learned to breathe the shape of what I'm after, who I am for

Words like small coins I kept in a hand that shook

Now I’m trading them for weightless wings and a crooked look

Found a rhythm in the bruise, a laugh inside the bruise

I speak in color now — loud, messy, truth

Pre-chorus

So let the room lean in (lean in)

Let the silence bend (watch it)

I got a map in my mouth that leads me back again

Chorus

I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice (oh)

I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice (yeah)

Say it soft, say it crazy, say it like you mean it (mean it)

Say it once, then louder, let it beat the ceiling (let it) hey

Verse

There’s a groove in the day where I plant my feet

I sing like a door that knows the way it should close and open neat

No more tidy lines, I bend the rules with every beat

Call me reckless, call me brave — I’ll wear both on repeat

Hands in my pockets, but my mouth is full of names

Names of the small brave things that saved me from the tame

I spill them on the pavement, watch them catch, watch them flame

They’re mine to keep, mine to claim

Pre-chorus

Let the air hold me (hold me)

Let the notes hold tight (hold tight)

There’s a chorus building in the ribs and in the night

Chorus

I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice (oh)

I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice (uh-huh)

Say it soft, say it crazy, say it like you mean it (say it)

Say it once, then louder, let it beat the ceiling (let it) hey

Bridge

(na-na) I’m louder than the fear that taught me to bend

(na-na) I’m wilder than the plan that said I had to end

(ah-ah) I’ll sing the wrong notes until they’re gold again

(ah-ah) I’ll sing the whole room bright — watch me mend, watch me mend

Chorus

I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice (oh)

I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice (yeah)

Say it soft, say it crazy, say it like you mean it (mean it)

Say it once, then louder, let it beat the ceiling (let it) hey

I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice (oh)

I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice, I found my voice (yeah)
