[Verse 1](One day) I'll make you a believer
(One day) I got this all I need is
(One day) Don't try to tell me I can't (tell me I can't)
(Right now) I'm writing the future
(Watch out) Won't stop I'm a mover
(One day) You're gonna know who I am
I will fly high and free
It's my fate wait and see one day
[Chorus]I've been afraid before,
To reach for something more
But now I see that it's mine, I'll take it (one day)
(One day), (one day)
(One day), (one day)
[Verse 2](One day) They're not gonna keep me down
(One day) They're not gonna shut me out
(One day) They're gonna do what they do, I'll do me
(Right now) I'm moving against the crowd
(Watch out) I'm drowning out the doubt
(One day) They're gonna do what they do, I'll do
Something original, be unforgettable
They're gonna know my name
[Chorus]I've been afraid before,
To reach for something more
But now I see that it's mine, I'll take it
[Intro]I'm on a mission, no longer listening
To anyone that says don't try
Sometimes you feel it, deep in your spirit
It's like a fire that won't die
[Chorus]I've been afraid before,
To reach for something more
But now I see that it's mine, I'll take it (one day)
(One day), (one day)
(One day), (one day)
(One day) I got this all I need is
(One day) Don't try to tell me I can't (tell me I can't)
(Right now) I'm writing the future
(Watch out) Won't stop I'm a mover
(One day) You're gonna know who I am
I will fly high and free
It's my fate wait and see one day
[Chorus]I've been afraid before,
To reach for something more
But now I see that it's mine, I'll take it (one day)
(One day), (one day)
(One day), (one day)
[Verse 2](One day) They're not gonna keep me down
(One day) They're not gonna shut me out
(One day) They're gonna do what they do, I'll do me
(Right now) I'm moving against the crowd
(Watch out) I'm drowning out the doubt
(One day) They're gonna do what they do, I'll do
Something original, be unforgettable
They're gonna know my name
[Chorus]I've been afraid before,
To reach for something more
But now I see that it's mine, I'll take it
[Intro]I'm on a mission, no longer listening
To anyone that says don't try
Sometimes you feel it, deep in your spirit
It's like a fire that won't die
[Chorus]I've been afraid before,
To reach for something more
But now I see that it's mine, I'll take it (one day)
(One day), (one day)
(One day), (one day)
