Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If I dare to ask it

Then I dare it to be true

If I dare to risk it

Then I know that I'm willing to

[Verse 2]

If I dare to want this

To want more than I have

Then I dare to believe

I'll have it in the end

[Verse 3]

You climbed the mountain

Sent pictures of the view

And still can't believe when

I started climbing too

You haven't heard that

I'm not afraid to fall

That I'm not deterred yet

Until I tell them all

[Verse 4]

I am holding out

For more than what I have now

I am holding out

[Verse 5]

I don't want your pity

I won't use your little scraps

I don't build my cities

With what could get taken back

I don't need permission

To rise up when it hurts

You don't have to listen

But you'll hear me, mark my words

[Verse 6]

I am holding out

For more than what I have now

I am holding out

[Verse 7]

When the room gets dark and I am quiet

There's a voice that's soft like someone's silhouette

Saying, "Don't let me go yet"

[Verse 8]

I am holding out

I am holding out

For more than I have now

I am holding out

[Verse 9]

If I dare to ask it

Then I dare it to be true

If I dare to risk it

Then I know that I'm willing to

If I dare to want this

To want more than I have

Then I dare to believe

I'll have it in the end
