if i dare

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
