Mmm
Ohhhh
I didn't know, I didn't know
But now I see
I had the key
I kept lookin' through the windows
Of somebody else's dreams
Thinkin' love or life or guidance
Would come break these walls for me
I was waitin' for a moment
For a hero, for a sign
Till I realized strength was standin'
In the mirror all the time
Every lock, every shadow
Every truth I had to face
It wasn't chains that held me captive
It was fear I had to break
I have the key
To my heart, to my freedom, to my peace
I have the key
To the doors that life was holdin' just for me
Thought I needed someone else
But the truth unlocked itself
I have the key, I have the key, I have the key
They can light a spark inside you
They can lift you when you fall
But they can't be your foundation
You must learn to stand through it all
Love can guide you to the doorway
Faith can teach your soul to see
But you're the only one who opens
Where your spirit's meant to be
Every doubt, every whisper
Every battle in my chest
I thought freedom came from someone
Now I know it comes from yes
I have the key
To my voice, to my healing, to my light
I have the key
To the sunrise on the other side of night
I was waitin' to be saved
Now I walk the path I paved
I have the key, I have the key, I have the key
No one completes me
I was whole all along
No one defines me—
I'm the writer of my song
People love, people guide
But the truth I couldn't hide:
Freedom's not given
It's chosen from inside
"From inside from inside"
N
Mmm I turned the lock, baby
Found the door to me
Oh, I walked in free, yeah
I have the key
To my heart, to my future, to my name
I have the key
To the fire that will never burn the same
I once waited to be found
Now my spirit stands unbound
I have the key, I have the key
(Choir echoes) You have the key
To every tear I overcame
To every chain I didn't see
I whisper now with open wings:
I have the key
