Let me fly

They tell me to bow, to smile and obey,
To stay in the lines they drew yesterday.
But dreams don’t listen when you say “no,”
They burn like stars, they’re meant to glow.

I’ve read the words they said I couldn’t see,
A world of truth that’s calling out to me.
And though the walls are high and wide,
I feel the fire deep inside—

Let me fly, past the clouds in the sky,
Let me be who I am inside.
You can bind my hands, but not my heart,
I was meant to play my part.
Hear my voice, let the silence die—
This is my time to rise…
Let me fly.

I see my sisters hiding their dreams,
Trading their light for what duty seems.
But I won’t fade, I won’t pretend,
This story’s mine—I'll change the end.

The ink and quill, they whisper my name,
Knowledge and courage, one and the same.
If freedom’s wrong, then let me be,
The wrong that sets our spirits free.

Let me fly, past the clouds in the sky,
Let me be who I am inside.
You can break my crown, but not my soul,
I’ll rewrite what they control.
Hear my voice, let the silence die—
This is my time to rise…
Let me fly.

Even if I stand alone,
Even if I lose my throne,
I’ll carry truth in every tear,
For every girl who dreams to hear—
“You are free, your wings are near.”

Let me fly, past the night and the lies,
I was born to touch the skies.
Let the wind of change begin,
Let the world breathe hope again.
Hear my voice, let the silence die—
This is our time to rise…
Let me fly.

Let me fly…
I was always meant to fly.
