Braver Than Before

Braver Than Before

I’ve stood in silence, I’ve faced the flame,
They called me broken, called me by shame.
But every whisper, every scar,
Built the warrior that I now are.

I was scared, I was small,
Now I rise, I’ve heard the call.

I’m braver than before, I’ve found my roar,
No more running, not anymore.
The fear is fading, the doubt is gone,
And I’ve been brave all along.
Let the world test me, I’ll walk through that door —
Stronger, louder, braver than before.

I’ve faced the mirror with tear-stained eyes,
But I saw fire behind those cries.
They tried to dim what they couldn’t see,
But you can’t hide the heart in me.

I was quiet, I was bruised,
Now I fight — I’ve nothing to lose.

I’m braver than before, I’ve found my roar,
No more running, not anymore.
The fear is fading, the doubt is gone,
And I’ve been brave all along.
Let the world test me, I’ll walk through that door —
Stronger, louder, braver than before.

I don’t wear armor, I wear my name,
Every fault, every flame.
I don’t chase glory, I stand in truth,
With every heartbeat — I prove my youth.

Braver than before, and still I rise,
With battle songs in both my eyes.
No chains, no lies, no closing door —
I am free...
Braver than before.
