Stand On My Own

Lyrics: Tirion Music: Tirion [Verse 1] I waited by the gate For a hand to pull me through Kept my shadow small Kept my voice in two
I wore the quiet smile Like it was enough to hold But the morning hit my face And I felt the cold
[Pre-Chorus] No more asking doors to open No more praying for a sign I can hear my own name spoken Clear and sharp inside
[Chorus] I stand on my own I stand on my own Sharp as a blade Hard as the stone
I stand on my own I stand on my own Nothing I need That I can't grow
[Verse 2] I learned my hands can build What I used to beg to find I learned my feet can run When I leave the line
If the night comes close I don't fold, I don't flee I light my own small fire And it answers me
[Pre-Chorus] No more asking doors to open No more praying for a sign I can hear my own name spoken Clear and sharp inside
[Chorus] I stand on my own I stand on my own Sharp as a blade Hard as the stone
I stand on my own I stand on my own Nothing I need That I can't grow
[Bridge] Let them keep their promises Let them keep their plans I found the fire in me I don't need their hands
I was made for rising Not for waiting long Now I move like thunder Now I know I'm strong
[Final Chorus] I stand on my own I stand on my own Sharp as a blade Hard as the stone
I stand on my own I stand on my own Nothing I need That I can't grow
I stand on my own I stand on my own My life, my line My voice, my road
