Lyrics
[verse]
I was small when someone told me to be strong
Learned to hum my own courageous song
Nobody hands you a compass for this ride
You have to build the fire from inside
[verse]
Children watching every step we take
Show them how a gentle heart can shake the world awake
Let them find their voice before they find their fear
Teach them what it means to hold what's dear
[chorus]
The greatest gift I carry is the peace I make within
Believing in my worth before I let the world begin
No one can take away the light I choose to hold
Standing tall in my own truth is the bravest story told
[verse]
Mirrors lie sometimes, but the heart knows true
There's a quiet power waiting to break through
I won't borrow someone else's map to find my way
I'll write my own direction every single day
[chorus]
The greatest gift I carry is the peace I make within
Believing in my worth before I let the world begin
No one can take away the light I choose to hold
Standing tall in my own truth is the bravest story told
[bridge]
If the road gets heavy and the sky turns grey
I'll remember the strength I found along the way
Every failure taught me how to rise and stand
I am the shelter, I am my own hand
[chorus]
The greatest gift I carry is the peace I make within
Believing in my worth before I let the world begin
No one can take away the light I choose to hold
Standing tall in my own truth is the bravest story told
