lyrics

Last night the fear got the best in me Today I promise that I
Not letting fear control my life anymore
If there’s an open door
I’m going thru it
Not going to miss my chance to fly Cause I’m
Not letting fear control my life anymore
Liberation
Can’t go thru another day unconsciously I’ve learned the lesson that I need so I Not letting fear control my life anymore
Liberation
Understanding
How it feels to be free
Now that I know
Who I am I can put
The confidence in me
No longer will I stand on the side As my dreams fly by
Cause that’s not right
You’re meant to fly
Cause I’m gonna be
Now I gotta try
Not letting fear control my life anymore
Liberation
Act like
Like you already have it Sing like
Like you already know it Live like
Like you already achieved it Be like
Like you already own it Move like
Album Lyrics
Like you know where you going Stand like
Like you already see it
Dance like
Like no one is watching
Love like
Like your heart really means it
