who am I

Lyrics

I used to build my walls up high
With every warning, every lie
I thought the world was mine to steer
But all I held was borrowed fear

I drew a line across the road
Made every dream a heavy load
But now the sparks are in your eyes
And I won't be the one who decides

If you’ve got a fire, let it burn
If you’ve got a lesson, let it hurt
I’ve spent too long controlling the night
Now I’m stepping out of the light

Who am I to stand in your way?
Who am I to tell you what to say?
You’ve got your own road, your own fight
Your own wrongs to make, your own way to find
Who am I to hold you down?
Who am I to keep you underground?
If the sky is calling your name
I’ll move aside and let you chase the flame

I know the weight of a locked-up door
And the sound of feet on a broken floor
I know what happens when love turns cold
When someone else keeps taking control

So take the chance and take the fall
You don’t need my permission at all
I’ll be behind you, not in front
You’ve got more strength than I ever thought

If you’ve got a fire, let it burn
If you’ve got a lesson, let it hurt
I’ve spent too long controlling the night
Now I’m stepping out of the light

Who am I to stand in your way?
Who am I to tell you what to say?
You’ve got your own road, your own fight
Your own wrongs to make, your own way to find
Who am I to hold you down?
Who am I to keep you underground?
If the sky is calling your name
I’ll move aside and let you chase the flame

I’m not the judge, I’m not the gate
I’m not the voice that seals your fate
The world is wide, the road is yours
Go kick down every locked door

And if you stumble in the dark
I’ll be a match, I’ll be a spark
But I won’t drag you back to me
You were born to run free

Who am I to stand in your way?
Who am I to tell you what to say?
You’ve got your own road, your own fight
Your own wrongs to make, your own way to find
Who am I to hold you down?
Who am I to keep you underground?
If the sky is calling your name
I’ll move aside and let you chase the flame

Who am I?
Who am I?
Just another voice beneath the sky
Go your way
I’ll be alright
I won’t stand in your way tonight
