lyrics

I don’t want this anymore
All I seem to do is hide
I’ve been living deep behind
These walls that I’ve built

Time to take it down to the bone
Strip it down now to the bone

I’ve been seeing for awhile
I’ve been here in my own way
Now it’s clear to me
A change must come
So I’m standing down
I’ve stepped aside
I’ve laid it bare
Now I can’t hide anymore

I know there is nothing to stop me now
I see this light is here inside
Everything is possible
I see it now
It starts with you
It starts with me
And I’m stepping out

Take it. Take it. Take that step right now
The first one, they say, is the hardest.
Make it. Make it Make a choice somehow
You’re the one who can

Take it down now to the bone
All the way down to the bone

Well.
I’ve been wearing these old shoes
I’ve been walking in these same old blues
But they’re not mine now
I’ve moved along
I’m standing tall
The time has come
I’ll sing this new song
I won’t hide anymore

And I know there is nothing to hold me down
I see my light is here inside
And I know
Everything that’s possible
Is with me now
It starts right here
It starts right now
And I’m stepping up
