Voice of My Own

[Verse 1 (reflective, emotional)]
I gave you every echo of my soul
Held my breath so you could take control
Built my world around your silent throne
But I was never heard—I was alone

[Pre-Chorus (building strength)]
I broke just to keep you whole
Lost myself in the shadow you stole
But silence taught me how to grow
Now I know…

[Chorus (empowered, anthemic)]
I’ve got the voice of my own, can you hear me now?
Stronger than your doubt, I won’t back down
No more whispering in the dark unknown
I'm rising loud with a voice of my own

[Verse 2 (resilient, awakening)]
Your words were roses laced with thorns
I wore the pain like it was sworn
But every scar became a flame
Burning bright enough to light my name

[Pre-Chorus (uplifting, self-aware)]
You tried to keep me small and tame
But wild hearts never stay the same
I’ve found my fire, unashamed
And I claim...

[Chorus (empowered, anthemic)]
I’ve got the voice of my own, can you hear me now?
Stronger than your doubt, I won’t back down
No more whispering in the dark unknown
I'm rising loud with a voice of my own

[Bridge (inspirational, unifying)]
This is for the ones who’ve been unheard
Every dream denied, every crying word
We are not broken—we are reborn
Every silence ends with a storm

[Final Chorus (triumphant, bold)]
I’ve got the voice of my own, feel it shake the sky
Tears turned to thunder, I won’t let them die
No more hiding, this is my milestone
Forever loud with a voice of my own
Yeah, forever proud with a voice of my own
