I Belong Right Here

[Verse 1]
I used to wait for permission
To take up room in the frame
I measured every decision
Against somebody else's name

I kept my best words folded
In the pocket of my coat
But every door I opened
Was proof I had a voice

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a perfect sign
I don't need the whole road clear
There is something strong in me
And I'm finally letting it steer

[Chorus]
I know who I am
I know what I bring
I can stand in the middle
And still choose to sing
No, I won't shrink back
No, I won't disappear
I put both feet down
And I belong right here

[Verse 2]
I wore doubt like a uniform
Buttoned tight beneath my chin
Now I leave it by the front porch
With the things I won't carry in

Every scar has a story
Every loss taught me to see
I don't need to be fearless
To trust the ground under me

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a perfect sign
I don't need the whole road clear
There is something strong in me
And I'm finally letting it steer

[Chorus]
I know who I am
I know what I bring
I can stand in the middle
And still choose to sing
No, I won't shrink back
No, I won't disappear
I put both feet down
And I belong right here

[Bridge]
If the room gets loud, I'll breathe
If the old doubts call, let them
I have crossed too far to leave
My own heart outside again

[Final Chorus]
I know who I am
I know what I bring
I can stand in the middle
And still choose to sing
No, I won't shrink back
No, I won't disappear
I put both feet down
And I belong right here

I know who I am
Hear the truth ring clear
I put both feet down
And I belong right here
[Outro]
Right here
I belong right here
