something bigger

finally, I open up to only make it stranger
and like a snowstorm, it's hard to see the beauty in the danger
it's the chance I take with the plans I make,
that end up shattering in front of me
like porcelain during the dead of winter
but I can feel the weight of something bigger

in no time, I'll open up and shine without you there
and I'll be bright like a flare on the highway
in the middle of nowhere
cuz I am on my way
no search for comfort will silence the words I will say
cuz I am on my way
I will stand here and sing for the world until the end of my days

and I'll open up and shine without you there
I can feel the weight
of something bigger.
