looking, looking for someplace to escape, escape
where the world has shifted its weight, to where, I want to stand
proud of who I am turning into
firm feet on this solid ground
and I sing and I shout
I am not ashamed of the places I’ve been or the things I have done
or the woman that I have become
and I will stand against the land that treats me wrong
my soul will learn to dance on the rooftops and the mountains
and surely we’ll romance ideas of living in the new world that we found
I will find a place that knows my worth, my name
that plants a seed of strength in me
and cherishes these bones and knows I am not alone
in this power I stand
we will sing we will shout
I am not ashamed of the places I’ve been or the things I have done
or the woman that I have become
and I will stand against the land that treats me wrong
my soul will learn to dance on the rooftops and the mountains
and surely we’ll romance ideas of living in the new world that we found
the house that I’ve built in myself is the best home that I have ever known
the house that I’ve built in myself is the best home that I have ever known
my soul will learn to dance on the rooftops and the mountains
and surely we’ll romance ideas of living in the new world that we
surely we'll romance ideas of living in the new world that we
surely we'll romance ideas of living in the new world that we found
