This is a song or you might want to call it a manifest
For all of us who are tired of being the second best
I've been in the shadow, always standing behind
Been holding their dreams, never speaking my mind
Time to step forward, claim my own way
No more second place, I'm here to stay
For too long, I've watched others rise
While hiding myself, keeping dreams in disguise
Now it's my turn, I'm breaking free
This life is mine, it's time to be me
For too long, I've watched others rise
While hiding myself, keeping dreams in disguise
Now it's my turn, I'm breaking free
This life is mine, it's time to be me
I'll build respect and stand up tall
Find my balance, I'll not be afraid to fall
With courage and care, I'll guard my space
Setting boundaries, I'm winning the race
Setting my sights on the dreams I've drawn
I'll say "no" when needed, keep pushing on
Invest in my heart, in my soul and time
To climb my mountain, to make it mine
I'm done being second, I'm stepping up strong
This is my life, where I belong
Time to step forward, claim my own way
No more second place, I'm here to stay
For too long, I've watched others rise
While hiding myself, keeping dreams in disguise
Now it's my turn, I'm breaking free
This life is mine, it's time to be me
Picture the day when I finally rise
Living my truth with no disguise
Main character now, I'm leading my way
Fulfilling the promise I made today
I'm done being second, I'm stepping up strong
This is my life, where I belong
Time to step forward, claim my own way
No more second place, I'm here to stay
For too long, I've watched others rise
While hiding myself, keeping dreams in disguise
Now it's my turn, I'm breaking free
This life is mine, it's time to be me
I'm done being second, I'm stepping up strong
This is my life, where I belong
Time to step forward, claim my own way
No more second place, I'm here to stay
I'm done being second
