Be the Story

I woke up with fire in my chest
Tired of playing quiet in the background
Mirror says I'm made for more than this
No more shrinking when the lights come down
They said I'm just a name they'll never know
But I'm done with being almost being close
Every heartbeat is a drum that says go
I'm not waiting—I'm the thunder in the glow
You don't need permission to begin
You're already gold beneath your skin
Every no was just the wind
Pushing you where you were meant to win
Be the story—don't just dream it
Write the lines then rise and scream it
From the shadows to the sky
This is your time—don't ask why
You're not the sidekick you're the flame
Turn the page start changing the game
Let the world feel your glory
It's your turn now—be the story
Every scar a word I had to write
I turned pain into a neon light
I'm not broken—I'm becoming
Every fall just kept me running
They laughed when I reached too high
But I was always made to fly
Now I don't walk—I glide
With a crown they can't deny
They can doubt but they don't define
You've got stardust in your spine
You're not late you're right on time
Main character in your storyline
Be the story—don't just dream it
Build your wings and fly right through it
From the silence to the sound
Take the mic and hold your ground
You're not the echo you're the voice
This is your heart this is your choice
Let the world feel your glory
It's your turn now—be the story
Be bold be loud be soft be strange
Rewrite the rules break out the cage
You're not too much—you're just enough
You're the magic you're the love
Be the story—don't just dream it
Burn so bright they'll never dim it
You're the fire you're the rise
You're the tears behind the eyes
From the ashes to the gold
This is your truth—be brave be bold
Let the world feel your glory
It's your life now—be the story
I'm not waiting for a page to turn
I am the light the flame the burn
Not a maybe not a memory
I'm the story
