I Won’t Stop Now

[Verse 1]
Do you know me? No? Then listen close—
These walls said, “You can’t,” and closed the doors.
“Let books be your whole world,” they told me,
But my heart said, “There’s more road before me.”
The dreams I held still have miles to go;
I’ll find their finish, wherever it leads.

[Chorus]
The more you hold me back, the more I rise;
Fall down—I’ll stand again before your eyes.
I’ll do what I came to do, make my own name;
I won’t stop now—I won’t stop now.

[Verse 2]
I made the dream my heart once dared to see;
The name the world knows started small in me.
Now no one can command my light to fade;
I’ll make my own way with the light I’ve made.
I’ll walk beside my dreams, come what may,
Let the whole world say what it wants to say.

[Bridge]
I’m still here, and I’m still becoming;
Every closed door hears my footsteps coming.
I won’t stop now—I won’t stop now.

[Outro]
My light will lead me through somehow;
I won’t stop now.
