Proud

I used to trace the sunlight on my bedroom wall, Dreaming big in quiet, hoping someone heard it all. My mother said, "急がなくていいのよ、娘よ。 世界は広いけれど、あなたの居場所はきっと見つかるから。" And heard her words on the days I felt too small. Every stumble, every shaken breath, Taught me how to rise again. And here I am, standing where I once only dreamt of. Heart steady, feet on solid ground. I made it through the noise and all the shadows I walked out of, I hope they see me now and feel proud. これが私の声。ようやく解き放てた。 ここが今の私の立つ場所。 Growing up a daughter in a world that loves its doubts, I learned to pick myself back up when the fire flickered out. I kept the stories my mother told About strength that doesn’t need to shout. ひとりで向き合ったすべての恐れを、あの言葉を抱いて乗り越えてきた。 Every tear, every quiet night, Built the girl who learned to shine. And here I am, standing where I once only dreamt of. Heart steady, feet on solid ground. I made it through the noise and all the shadows I walked out of, I hope they see me now and feel proud. これが私の声。ようやく解き放てた。 ここが今の私の立つ場所。 今の私を見てくれたなら、 きっと私の名前に宿る愛に気づくはず。 私の一歩一歩には、あの家が縫い込まれている。 Now here I am, standing where I once only dreamt of. Holding everything they gave me in my soul. I made it, and I hope the ones who raised me Know their strength is what carried me this far. これは幼い私の誓いから生まれた声。 ここが今の私の立つ場所。 見ていてね、お母さん。ここまで来た私を、誇りに思ってくれたら嬉しい。
