"If I Dare" lyrics

If I dare to ask it
Then I dare it to be true
If I dare to risk it
Then I know that I'm willing to
If I dare to want this
To want more than I have
Then I dare to believe
I'll have it in the end

You climbed the mountain
Sent pictures of the view
And still can't believe when
I started climbing too
You haven't heard that
I'm not afraid to fall
That I'm not deterred yet
Until I tell them all

I am holding out
For more than what I have now
I'm holding out

I don't want your pity
I won't use your little scraps
I don't build my cities
With what could get taken back
I don't need permission
To rise up when it hurts
You don't have to listen
But you'll hear me mark my words

I am holding out
For more than what I have now
I'm holding out

When the room gets dark and I am quiet
There's a voice that's soft like someone's silhouette
Saying, "Don't let me go yet."

I am holding out
I am holding out
For more than what I have now
I'm holding out

If I dare to ask it
Then I dare it to be true
(Believe me, I will be)
If I dare to risk it
Then I know that I'm willing to
If I dare to want this
To want more than I have
(Believe me, I will be)
Then I dare to believe
I'll have it in the end
