What You Didn't Know Then

You are more than what they see

Stronger than the fear you keep

Every fall, every scar

Holds the map to who you are

You don't have to stay the same

You can rise and break the chain

There's a light behind the pain

And you're learning how to reign

The storm was never meant to last

Your power's waking up at last

What you didn't know then

Is that every ending makes you whole again

That every time you felt too small

You were standing tall through it all

You are rising

You are fire, you are wind

You're the reason your story begins

What you didn't know then

You carry now, and won't forget

You were born to rise, not break

Every fear, a truth to shake

Every "no" you're learning still

Is shaping your unshakable will

You don't need to chase the crowd

You were made to stand out loud

There is beauty in your pace

No one else can take your place

Your voice was made to break the silence

Your heart's a song, your soul's defiance

What you didn't know then

Is that every ending makes you whole again

That every time you felt too small

You were standing tall through it all

You are rising

You are fire, you are wind

You're the reason your story begins

What you didn't know then

You carry now, and won't forget

You are not your yesterdays

You are light in newer ways

You're becoming what you need

Let your spirit now be freed

What you didn't know then

Is you were born to rise and rise again

That your soul was never weak

It was just waiting to speak

Now you're glowing

Brighter than you've ever been

You're the storm, the calm, the wind

What you didn't know then

Is you're everything you've ever been

You're everything

You're everything

What you didn't know then
