If I dare to ask you I dare it to be true If I dare to risk it I know that I'm willing to If I dare to want this To want more than I have Than I dare to believe I'll have it in the end You climbed the mountain Send pictures of the view And still cant believe when I started climbing too You havent 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'll hold it out If I dare to ask it And I dare it to be true If I dare to risk it I know that I'm willing to If I dare to want this To want more than I have Than I dare to believe I'll have it in the end
