Hold Your Shoulders Back

Hold your shoulders back
There’s not a thing you lack
And everyone is waiting for you to claim your power so
Hold your shoulders back

There was a time you let it go
Shook it off said I don’t know
Held your tongue, stepped aside
But I can see a turning tide

Fear is only optical
Look her in the eye and let her know
She is more than welcome here
Fangs abate as she draws near

Hold your shoulders back
There’s not a thing you lack
And everyone is waiting for you to claim your power so
Hold your shoulders back

Would you think to ask yourself?
What cannot be known is just as well
Comfort in uncertainty
The answer will not set you free

And only you can choose your words
And nobody but you decides your worth
And what you think you’re waiting for
It falls to you to call it forth

Keep it to yourself and you keep it from the rest
Growin’ anxious feel it pushin’ pushin’ feet against your chest
The reasons you’re not ready you have made up in your mind
So stand up step up speak up courage isn’t far behind

Follow the sequence of illusions until it runs out
What you find left over
is all you really need to know,
So let it run out
Let it run out
let it run out

Hold your shoulders back
There’s not a thing you lack
And everyone is waiting for you to claim your power so
Hold your shoulders back

Hold your shoulders back
There’s not a thing you lack
Everyone is waiting to hear just what you’re gonna say so
Hold your shoulders back
