I've been wearing shadows like a second skin Carrying the voices I let settle in Every chain I forged was molded out of fear But my soul won't die in the dark down here So I burn the name that I thought was mine Step through the shadows into the light I'm not who I was, I'm who I decide The fire in my soul is the light that guides Every road I walk is a choice I make I live in truth, I will not break I am I am I am free All my yesterdays tried to hold me down But I'm the architect of the life I've found No one writes a script that I can't rewrite I'm a spark in the dark turning into light And I burn the bridge they built for me To walk the world they said I'd never see I'm not who I was, I'm who I decide The fire in my soul is the light that guides Every road I walk is a choice I make I live in truth, I will not break I am I am I am free Every scar's a star, a constellation Every wound a seed, a revelation And if I fall, I'll still rise in flames I won't answer when they call my name I'm not who I was, I'm who I decide The fire in my soul is the light that guides Every road I walk is a choice I make I live in truth, I will not break I am I am I am free
