Verse 1

I kept my name beneath my tongue

While every room said who to be

I watched the years go one by one

And felt them closing in on me

Pre-Chorus

You can draw the line

You can bar the door

I have stood here long enough

To know what I am for

Chorus

This is my road, these are my hands

I choose the ground where I will stand

No borrowed crown, no borrowed skin

I take the weight and carry it in

Verse 2

The old advice still fills the air
