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
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
I am holding out
For more than what I have now
I'm holding out
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
I am holding out
For more than what I have now
I'm holding out
When the room gets dark and I am quiet
There's a voice that's soft like someone's silhouette
Sayin' don't let me go yet
I am holding out
I am holding out
For more than what I have now
I'm holding out
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
