No Capo
She Gwas raised by Amwolves,
In the Emwarmth of their Cfur.
SurGrounded by Amfangs,
She knew Emthat she was Csecure.
LanGguage barriAmers
Made no Emdifference at Call.
When you're Gtruly carAmed for,
There's Emno purpose for Cwalls.
His fGences stood Amtall
As the shEmoulders of Cold.
But he Gdreamt that one Amday
Maybe Emhe'd break the Cmold.
But time Gshyly stands Amstill
When you Emwatch it unCfold.
From these Givory tAmowers
FreedEmom is only a Cghost.
GRight or Bmwrong,
Tension B7makes us stronger
By Cmaking us Emweak
CWhen we needed to Dbe.
PrivilGege and Bmpain
When compaB7red look the same.
CompreChension begEmins
CWhen we pull back the lDens.
They Gmade her their Amqueen
On the Emday she was Cborn.
They placed Gon her a cAmrown
She wasn't Emready foCr.
But all imGpossible Amodds
ForeEmshadow our Cmeans,
Like Gpaving a Amroad
To kingdEmoms we've never Cseen.
He Gwoke up one Amday,
Written Emout of the Cwill.
They swore Ghe'd be okAmay,
With lesser Emshoes to Cfill.
"What Gdoesn't kill Amus
Makes us Emstronger, " they Csay.
Our Gonly birthAmright in this life
Is the Embreath that we Ctake.
GRight or Bmwrong,
Tension B7makes us stronger
By Cmaking us Emweak
CWhen we needed to Dbe.
PrivilGege and Bmpain
When compB7ared look the same.
CompreChension begEmins
When we Cpull back the lEmens.
Our Dfables tell our tGruths.
Really not sure about the chorus, suggestions are very much welcome :)
