Choose You

Songtekst

[Intro] You No permission needed You Stand up and meet your own eyes [Verse 1] You learned to fold your hands So no one saw them shake You gave away your best To keep somebody safe But kindness is not a chain And silence is not grace The heart you kept repairing Still deserves a place [Pre-Chorus] Count every scar you carried Not as proof you were weak They mark the doors you opened When courage learned to speak [Chorus] You are more than what they called you More than every failed goodbye Build a better soul with mercy But never let your spirit die You can bend without surrender You can grow and still be true Give the world your gentlest strength Then choose yourself, choose you [Verse 2] Be sweet without pretending Be gentle without fear Tell the truth with open hands And keep your conscience clear A good heart needs a backbone A dream needs daily work The person you become tomorrow Starts with what you do first [Rap Bridge] No crown, no stage, no borrowed name No need to win somebody else's game Take back the hours you traded for praise Plant small promises, water them for days If you fall, learn the shape of the ground If you hurt someone, turn around Say I'm sorry, then change what you do Growth is a road that begins with you [Chorus] You are more than what they called you More than every failed goodbye Build a better soul with mercy But never let your spirit die You can bend without surrender You can grow and still be true Give the world your gentlest strength Then choose yourself, choose you [Breakdown] Do not disappear to make them comfortable Do not shrink your heart to fit their rules Keep your hands clean Keep your word Keep becoming [Rap Bridge] Look at the person in the mirror tonight Not a perfect face, but a life you can write Trade the anger for a wiser reply Let compassion be fierce, let the old habits die You don't need revenge, you don't need their approval Step by step, make your promise immovable When the past says you'll never break through Answer once, answer loud: I choose you [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] You are more than what they called you More than every failed goodbye Build a better soul with mercy And let your honest spirit rise You can bend without surrender You can grow and still be true Give the world your gentlest strength Then choose yourself, choose you [Outro] Choose you Be kind, be brave, become Choose you
