Battle Cry

[Verse 1]
I tried to make you proud
You said I had my head in the clouds
I’ve spent a lifetime
Stuck in the same lines

Gathered up each grain of sand
Built my castle in your hands
Then I spent a lifetime
Trying not to cry

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now
The diamonds I’ve found
This might not last forever
But it might do something better

[Chorus]
I believe this is bigger than you and me
You will see the crowds swelling in revelry
I am ready and if that means goodbye
Then it’s time to fly into the light
Nothing but sky and this strong battle cry

[Verse 2]
You telling me I’d never make it
Left me needing to prove you mistaken
I've spent a lifetime
Waiting for my time

There was something in the wreckage
A tiny piece of who I knew I’d be
I’m setting it free

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now
The diamonds I’ve found
This might not last forever
But it might do something better

[Chorus]
I believe this is bigger than you and me
You will see the crowds swelling in revelry
I am ready and if that means goodbye
Then it’s time to fly into the light
Nothing but sky and this strong battle cry

[Bridge]
Stopped asking questions
Stopped asking permission
Now I won’t come undone or rebel
And all that's left are the stories we tell

[Chorus]
I believe this is bigger than you and me
You will see the crowds swelling in revelry
I am ready and if that means goodbye
Then it’s time to fly into the light
Nothing but sky and this strong battle cry
