[Verse 1]

As kids we're all scared of silly things

Thunderstorms and shadows that hide in the dark

This is the real world that I see and when the monsters come for me

I'll be on my own to fight them

We take our time when we're young

To figure out growing up

But we won't really know till we live it

We bite our tongues in the night

Afraid to turn out the lights

Scared of the future 'cause we can't see it

[PreChorus]

But I have waited far too long

To sing the words to my own song

And I am tired of holding back

So I'm not giving up, not giving up on this

[Chorus]

This is my song and this is my life

Gonna sing through the dark in the night

This is my music, I live in this melody

I can feel the thunder beating under me

Thunder beat under me, thunder beat under me

[Verse 2]

All at once I decided that I'm done

Living scared and always on the run from those who tear me down

Watch my every move, but now I'm not afraid of you

Come see everything I do because I'm free now

[PreChorus]

But I have waited far too long

To sing the words to my own song

And I am tired of holding back

So I'm not giving up, not giving up on this

[Chorus]

This is my song and this is my life

Gonna sing through the dark in the night

This is my music, I live in this melody

I can feel the thunder beating under me

Thunder beat under me, thunder beat under me

[Bridge]

I have waited far too long

To know the words to my own song

And it's been in me all along

But now I'm breaking through

[Chorus]

This is my song and this is my life

Gonna sing through the dark in the night

This is my music, I live in this melody

I can feel the thunder beating under me

Thunder beat under me, thunder beat under me

Oh
