Hear Me Now

Speak…

Again, speak…

Louder—speak…

Good boy.

I’ve been quiet in the corners, hiding my truth

Letting everybody talk while I kept my voice loose

But it’s time for me to rise, time to step in the light

Time to say the things I swallowed just to keep things right

And every word I hold inside becomes a part of my soul

Every whisper turns to rhythm when I let control go

So when you tell me “speak,” I feel the moment align

Like the world’s leaning closer just to hear what’s mine

Hear me now…

I’m finding my tone and I’m letting it out

I’ve been hidden away, but I’m turning around

No more silence weighing me down

I’ve been learning to trust the way my heart wants to speak

Every low, every high, every moment I’m weak

There’s a freedom in the truth, in the courage to feel

In the sound of my own voice when it finally turns real

So if you say “louder,” I’ll rise a little more

I’ve been standing in the shadows, now I’m moving to the floor

I’m not perfect, but I’m present, and that’s how it begins

Finding strength in the softness of the places I’ve been

Hear me now…

Every breath feels honest and true

Every word I say pulls me closer to you

Let the quiet fade—

I’m ready to break through

Speak…

Yeah.

I hear me now.
