I once held back, embraced the dawn
Frightened to disrupt, to be withdrawn
So I spoke softly, consented with grace
I seemed to forget I owned my space
I let you guide me to the edge, so dire
I stood for naught, thus embraced the pyre
You pressed me low, yet I rose [bracketed]
Now shaking off the soot that posed
You catch my call, you sense that vibe
Like storms that roar and fiercely scribe
You pressed me low, yet I rose
Prepared now, for I've opposed
I witness all, I grasp the scene
I've got the gaze of the queen, serene
Moving through the skyline
For I am the victor, hear my sign
Louder, louder than the urban cry
For I am the victor, hear my sky
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear my anthem soar
Now I'm soaring like the dawn's first light
Striking like the day, I claim my right
I journeyed from the void to my throne so clear
I transformed from nothing to my own pioneer
