Taking Flight

Verse 1

I woke up swinging at the alarm

Told the mirror I'm done playing small

Every no that they handed me

I stacked them up like artillery

Pre-Chorus

You can doubt me

You can count me out

But I already know

How this one turns out

Chorus

I'm not asking for permission

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'm not asking for permission

This whole life is mine all mine

So step aside

I'm taking flight

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

I'm taking flight

Oh oh oh

Yeah

Verse 2

They drew a line and I drew a door

Kicked it open just to prove what it's for

Every scar is a story I own

Every bruise is a badge I outgrew

Pre-Chorus

You can doubt me

You can count me out

But I already know

How this one turns out

Chorus

I'm not asking for permission

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'm not asking for permission

This whole life is mine all mine

So step aside

I'm taking flight

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

I'm taking flight

Oh oh oh

Yeah

Bridge

Louder now

Louder now

Say my name until it shakes the ground

Stronger now

Stronger now

Nothing's gonna turn me back around

Chorus

I'm not asking for permission

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'm not asking for permission

This whole life is mine all mine

So step aside

I'm taking flight

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

I'm taking flight

Oh oh oh

Yeah

I'm taking flight
