From the recording Sunflower's Debut
Finding your voice after multiple life changes is the inspiration for this song.
Lyrics
I got my hands in my pockets
I know it ain’t right
You’re all here and watching as
I struggle to take flight
I have been the expert
The one they looked up to
I was the one with the answers
But now I’m asking you
How do I open up
How do I use my voice
Why do I feel like
Silence is my only choice
Life can change on a dime
What you thought you knew
Their love was only in my mind and
Its left me feeling blue
But even the blue has faded
Watercolor’s bleeding view of a
World that’s so jaded
So now I’m asking you
Chorus
I’m gonna stay and
Fill up this space
Get out of my own way stand
Firmly in my place
So now I’m taking baby steps
Putting my toes in the water
Learning how to live again, I
Am my only daughter
Looking in the mirror
Seeing someone stir
Getting strong and clearer
So now I’m asking her
How do I open up
How will I use my voice
So that I don’t feel like
Silence is my only choice
How will I open up
How will I use my voice
So that I forever feel
I always have a choice
Now I’ll open up
Now I’ll use my voice
So that I forever feel
I always have a choice
