Through the Cracks

I used to try to bridge the gap I'd give it all, get nothing back I'd bend and break for true love's sake But then that dream fell through the cracks For years I wore a heavy crown Always so strong, no breaking down I'd help them climb, but fell behind I'd watch them rise while I would drown But here I stand, no need to yearn For true love's given, it is not earned Won't beg or chase, I found my place My heart is strong, my worth I've learned I've done the work, I've learned to see The songs I write help set me free I've found my voice, I've made my choice To stand in truth and just be me So watch me fly, my hopes are high No sadness left, no need to cry I've done my part, strengthened my heart Now I go forth where freedom lies If I'm alone, that means I am free And I'll trust love will come to me No heart to mend, no rules to bend Just love that yields tranquility.
