Step Aside – A Still Revolution

They said I’d never make it out alive,
“Too small, too weak, you’ll never thrive.”
But every scar’s a badge I wear with pride,
You can’t kill what refuses to die.
Keep your doubts, your pity, your shame,
I’ve built my home in the eye of the flame.
The harder you push, the harder I’ll fight,
You’ll see me standing in the morning light.

Oh, you think you know my limits,
But you’ve never lived a minute in this skin.
Every hit just sharpens my edge,
You won’t win.

Step aside, this road is mine,
I’m done wasting my precious time.
Keep your words, your hate, your lies,
I’ll rise, I’ll rise, I’ll rise.
Step aside, I’m not your pawn,
I’m here to prove you’ve been so wrong.
So take your doubts, and walk away,
I’ve got nothing left to say.

You tried to write my story, make me small,
But I don’t answer when you call.
I’ve climbed from hell with dirt on my hands,
I owe you nothing, you don’t understand.
Throw your stones, I’ll build my throne,
Your bitterness can’t break my bones.
I’ve got a spine made of steel, a soul full of fire,
And I’ll burn through every liar.

You can’t measure what you’ll never see,
This grit, this fight, this recklessly free.
You’ll choke on the dust I leave behind,
Watch me.

This world’s too big for your small mind,
I don’t need your approval to shine.
Your empty words won’t stop the climb,
This life is mine, it’s mine, it’s mine.

So take a seat, take your time,
Watch me soar as I cross the line.
Your rules don’t matter, your games don’t count,
I’m the storm you can’t surmount.
