Watch Me Soar

Watch me soar
I know that it’s hard for you to imagine
that I’m not that Lounge girl you once knew.
I’m no longer 12, what you see is a woman
standing in front of you.
And I, I have been patient, I have been kind,
I paid all my dues and I gave up my time.
I can’t be confined to the past anymore.
My wings have grown.
Everyone soars
just to be thankful, just to be grateful
or just let it be.
But I’m tired of this waiting, it’s always tomorrow
I’m done with perceptions that you’ve had of me.
I’ve given you blood, you’ve given me tears,
I’ve given my heart in so many years.
It’s finally time to fend for myself
and open my wings.
It’s my time to soar, yes.
My time…
And I don’t need you to love me, that’s not what I asked
I just want you to see that I’m more than my past.
You have expectations, well they’re just too small
and I’m dreaming big.
so watch me soar.
Watch me soar.
Watch me soar.
It’s time to let go, take a leap, touch the sky,
feel the wind press against me as my wings start to fly,
then soar, I will soar.
Watch me soar.
Yes, I know that it’s hard for you to imagine
that I’m not that young girl you once knew.
I’m no longer 12, what you see is a woman,
soaring in front of you.
