Rooted Deep, Running Free

[Intro]
No borrowed shape, no borrowed name
I meet myself and stay the same

[Verse 1]
I used to bend at every door
To fit the room they wanted more
Wore their colors, learned their lines
Lost the border of my mind

Now I keep the parts that fit
And let the rest fall loose a bit
There is strength in standing still
There is fire in choosing will

[Pre-Chorus]
If I move, I move because I choose
Not because I fear I'll lose

[Chorus]
I am enough in the skin I wear
I can change without disappearing there
No, I won't freeze and call it peace
No, I won't break for your release
I grow for me, I stay for me
Rooted deep but running free

[Verse 2]
Let the old days keep their dust
Let the new road earn my trust
I can trade a worn-out view
For a wider one that feels more true

Every scar can mark a turn
Every wrong can leave a lesson learned
I don't need to chase applause
To know exactly what I'm for

[Pre-Chorus]
If I move, I move because I choose
Not because I fear I'll lose

[Chorus]
I am enough in the skin I wear
I can change without disappearing there
No, I won't freeze and call it peace
No, I won't break for your release
I grow for me, I stay for me
Rooted deep but running free

[Bridge]
Keep your mirror, keep your measure
I won't trade my breath for pleasure
I can open, I can bend
Without asking you to call me friend

[Break]
Stand where you are
Then take one step
Keep what is true
Release regret

[Final Chorus]
I am enough in the skin I wear
I can change without disappearing there
No, I won't freeze and call it peace
No, I won't break for your release
I grow for me, I stay for me
Rooted deep but running free

[Outro]
No borrowed shape, no borrowed name
I meet myself and light the flame
