A past of broken hearts are gathered on the floor
A dream of brighter skies, I long for something more
Always felt like something's missing
A deeper tingle when we're kissing
But I love in fear with the man that I adore

And so I got to give up, give up all my fears and try
You know, I got to throw my hands up, hands up
Leave it all to the one in the sky
I've got to show up ready and willing for this brand new flight
Cause that's the only way our love will stand up in this fight

I wrote him a simple love song but it wasn't enough for him
I threw my heart out there with another
But these scared little shackles bind my skin
I need to sanctify today so my future will be bright
I need to plant this seed in fresh soil under the full moon light

I got to give up, give up all my fears and try
You know, I got to throw my hands up, hands up
Leave it all to the one in the sky
I've got to show up ready and willing for this brand new flight
Cause that's the only way our love will stand up in this fight

In order to be your queen, I have to deserve the reign
The pain of the past behind, I send it above tonight
Knowing the strength in you and finding the strength in me
To live in aloha always, cause that is the only way

Oh, for our love now to survive, oh

Oh, I got to give up, give up
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh I got to give up, give up all my fears and try
You know, I got to throw my hands up, hands up
Leave it all to the one in the sky
I've got to show up ready and willing for this brand new flight
Cause that's the only way our love will stand up in this fight

In order to be a queen
I have to deserve the reign
Yeah
