Upward

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing by the window
Looking at the sky
All these expectations
Making her want to cry
But something's changed inside her
She can feel it now
[Pre-Chorus]
All those years of waiting
All those words unsaid
Time to leave behind the life
That fills her heart with dread
[Chorus]
She's gonna spread her wings tonight
Nothing's gonna hold her down
Breaking through the walls they built
Her feet won't touch the ground
(Oh-oh, watch her fly)
(Oh-oh, touch the sky)
[Verse 2]
Empty little bedroom
Final look around
Pictures on the dresser
Of the life she found
But that's not who she'll be now
Time to turn the page
[Pre-Chorus]
No more hesitation
No more playing small
Rising up to meet the sun
She's answering the call
[Chorus]
She's gonna spread her wings tonight
Nothing's gonna hold her down
Breaking through the walls they built
Her feet won't touch the ground
(Oh-oh, watch her fly)
(Oh-oh, touch the sky)
[Bridge]
(La la la la, she's breaking free)
(La la la la, she's meant to be)
Rising higher, flying faster
Than they said she could
(La la la la la)
[Final Chorus]
She's gonna spread her wings tonight
Nothing's gonna hold her down
Breaking through the walls they built
Her feet won't touch the ground
(Oh-oh, watch her fly)
(Oh-oh, touch the sky)
[Outro]
(La la la la la...)
[Fade out]
