I’ve always wanted to be brave
To face my demons unafraid
And yet I’ve always waited on
Someone, something, far beyond
But there are wolves outside my door
And I’m a child no more
Throw open wide this shuttered heart
Let in the light till shadows part
Gaze straight into the the truth of me
Embrace the facts unflinchingly
Unlock the gate, unbar the door
For I’m a child no more
I swell beyond these strict confines
Overflow my precious lines
Past the margins, I am free
Expand to the periphery
Plummet down or rise to soar
Either way, a child no more
