Hold Still and Let It Burn (versione 2)

Verse

Glass ceiling shattering in the rain

Concrete floor that's learned to feel the pain

Every step I take is one I own now

Burning out the maps that said which way to go

Your hands used to hold me back from the light

Now you're chasing every beam of what feels right

You're running after every dream we left behind

And I'm holding still and letting it shine

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel your heart begin to break loose?

Every chain that held it down is unhooked now

You're learning how to let go, slowly turning

Into the fire that I found long ago

Chorus

Hold still and let it burn, hold still and let it rise

You've been running for so long, but the sky won't deny

Every spark you tried to tame will turn into a flame

Hold still and let it burn, hold still and feel alive

Verse

Broke your wrists on every door that wouldn't open

Now I watch you standing tall in amber

Cinder dust where your fears used to be

Skin like smoke, lungs full of liberty

The same stars we chased a million nights ago

Now they're shining down the path that only you know

And for the first time in a long time

You look up at the light without apology

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel your heart begin to break loose?

Every chain that held it down is unhooked now

You're learning how to let go, slowly turning

Into the fire that I found long ago

Chorus

Hold still and let it burn, hold still and let it rise

You've been running for so long, but the sky won't deny

Every spark you tried to tame will turn into a flame

Hold still and let it burn, hold still and feel alive

Bridge

Not my fault that you finally learn to soar

I only held your hand until it was ready to explore

Now go on, keep climbing, I'll stay right here watching

The same fire that broke me is breaking free in every way

Chorus

Hold still and let it burn, hold still and let it rise

You've been running for so long, but the sky won't deny

Every spark you tried to tame will turn into a flame

Hold still and let it burn, hold still and feel alive
