Break in the Wall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I kept my old name in a paper-thin box Beside the keys that I never used Every locked door taught me what fear costs Every small no left another bruise [Pre-Chorus] But the ground is moving under my feet And the pulse I buried is waking me No more waiting for permission to breathe I am ready, I am ready [Chorus] I am the break in the wall The sudden lift after the fall Nothing that held me can hold me now I found the strength beneath the doubt Let the former shape disappear I am becoming someone I can hear From the ashes of almost, I rise somehow I am the break in the wall now [Verse 2] I cut the strings from the hands of the past Left their careful rules on the kitchen floor There is a future moving fast And it is mine when I reach the door [Pre-Chorus] Every scar is a map I can read Every failure returned something to me No more shrinking to fit their dream I am ready, I am ready [Chorus] I am the break in the wall The sudden lift after the fall Nothing that held me can hold me now I found the strength beneath the doubt Let the former shape disappear I am becoming someone I can hear From the ashes of almost, I rise somehow I am the break in the wall now [Bridge] If I tremble, let me tremble forward If I break, let the pieces turn to doors I was never made to stay unfinished I was never less than what I fought for [Final Chorus] I am the break in the wall The open sky beyond it all Nothing that held me can hold me now I am the answer to my doubt Let the former shape disappear There is a stronger voice living here From the ashes of almost, I rise somehow I am the break in the wall now I am the break in the wall now [Outro] The old name fades from the box My hands are free, my hands are free
