Grow (feat. Rachel)

I have lived my life afraid
Always hiding in the shade
Watching other flowers bloom
While I hardly take up room
Through the canopy they rise and tower above the trees
Through the darkness into light
I'm seeing myself for the first time in my life
Don't know how long it's been since my colours showed
But I think it's finally time for me to grow
If I was born upon a hill
I'd get my dose of chlorophyll
If the sun itself believes
Then I'll spread out all my leaves
Through the canopy I'll rise and tower above the trees
Through the darkness into light
I'm seeing myself for the first time in my life
Don't know how long it's been since my colours showed
But I think it's finally time for me to grow
And I, I'll stand tall for everyone to see
And I know, finally just what it means to be free
I'll grow into me
Through the darkness into light
I'm seeing myself for the first time in my life
Like a wilted sunflower painted by Van Gogh,
No one's cutting me this time, just let me grow
