Teenage years were tough and cold
Closed my heart could not be bold
School was a fight every single day
Mobbed and teased in every way
Parents said I didn't belong
They couldn't see where I was strong
Felt so trapped didn't know the way
Dreams of love in shades of gray
Out of shadows I'm flying high
With my husband by my side
Dog's barking love every night
We're alright, we're alright
The darkest days seemed never-ending
Life kept on barely mending
Found my strength in hidden places
Now we laugh in all our spaces
School's behind and so's the pain
We dance wildly in the rain
Parents call but I am free
Found my soul found the real me
Out of shadows I'm flying high
With my husband by my side
Dog's barking love every night
We're alright, we're alright
Out of shadows I'm flying high
With my husband by my side
Dog's barking love every night
We're alright, we're alright
