The lady stood on stage
Curtains raised, light shining in her eyes
She sang with heart and soul that filled the air
The audience cheered, applause broke through the night
(Pre-Chorus)
But what he didn't know was how she really felt inside
A heart that longed for freedom, wings that yearned to spread
A spirit brave and true, tired of being kept inside
Confined to a role that held her down, she whispered softly
(Chorus)
No, no, said no
That's what I said no
I can do more, I can be more than just a face in the crowd
Can't hold me down, I'll break through, my dreams are calling out loud
No, no, I'm done saying no
(Verse 2)
She took a step back, closed her eyes and took a breath
Unleashed her power, let her voice ignite the space
The walls came down, chains shattered, she was unchained
No longer bound, she soared beyond their expectations
(Pre-Chorus)
They tried to put her back, keep her in her place
But she was done with hiding, she embraced her truth
Broke through the barriers, let her colors shine
No more whispers, she proclaimed her freedom
(Chorus)
No, no, said no
That's what I said no
I can do more, I can be more than just a face in the crowd
Can't hold me down, I'll break through, my dreams are calling out loud
No, no, I'm done saying no
(Bridge)
She didn't need permission to be herself
No one could deny the fire that burned inside her
She rose above, embraced her true callings
Inspiring others to break free, to rise and reclaim their light
(Chorus)
No, no, said no
That's what I said no
I can do more, I can be more than just a face in the crowd
Can't hold me down, I'll break through, my dreams are calling out loud
No, no, I'm done saying no
No more saying no, I'm done saying no
