[Chorus]
CmIf I dare to ask it, then I dare it to be true
CmIf I dare to risk it, then I know that I'm willing to
CmIf I dare to want this, to want more than I have
FmThen I dare to believe IG#'ll hGmave it in the eCmnd
[Verse 1]
CmYou climbed the mountain, sent pictures of the view
CmAnd still can't believe when I started climbing, too
CmYou haven't heard that I'm not afraid to fall
CmThat I'm not deterred yet until I tell them all
[Hook]
CmI am hoG#lding out for mCmore than what I have now
CmI'm hFmolding A#outCm  
[Verse 2]
CmI don't want your pity, I won't use your little scraps
CmI don't build my cities with what could get taken back
CmI don't need permission to rise up when it hurts
CmYou don't have to listen, but you'll hear me
Mark my worCmds
