A life mapped out, from cradle to the grave
They tell us what to want, how to behave
Dreams shaped by molds, we're all the same
Trapped in a system that douses our flame
Caught in the web of what they say
Trying to fit in, we lose our way
Expectations bind us, make us feel small
Trapped in their shadows, we stumble and fall
(stumble and fall) (stumble and fall)
Wearing masks to fit in, we hide our light
Pretending to be happy, losing the fight
Inside, a voice screams to break away
Caught in the chains, afraid to stay
Caught in the web of what they say
Trying to fit in, we lose our way
Expectations bind us, make us feel small
Trapped in their shadows, we stumble and fall
(stumble and fall) (stumble and fall)
We shatter the molds, step into the unknown
Facing judgments, but standing on our own
The whispers grow loud, the looks turn cold
But freedom's taste is worth the stories told
We break the chains and find our way
Refuse to live our lives on display
Our hearts are free, our souls alive
In the face of judgment, we will thrive
(we will thrive)
In the quiet after the storm, we find our voice
No longer bound, we've made our choice
The scars we bear, the price we pay
But in our own skin, we'll proudly stay
We break the chains and find our way
Refuse to live our lives on display
Our hearts are free, our souls alive
In the face of judgment, we will thrive
(we will thrive)
In the face of judgment, we will thrive
We will thrive, we will thrive
Rising strong and feeling alive
We will thrive, we will thrive
We will thrive
