Audacity Songtext
von Billy Porter

When I was a kid, silence was my self-defense
Fear was my default, anger was my first call
After many years, figured out my best revenge
Forgive the enemy and simply choosing happy

The audacity to show up honestly
How dare I believe that it′s okay to be me?
The audacity to speak without trembling
To fear not of my words, to fear not of my worthy

I was scared of joy
'Cause then I had a thing to lose
But I did it anyway
I love to hear them say


The audacity to show up honestly
How dare I believe that it′s okay to be me?
The audacity to speak without trembling
To fear not of my words, to fear not of my worthy, oh

Sometimes, I fall into damaging thoughts
Like I don't deserve all the love that I got
But then I take a second to breathe
I always come back to me
I always come back to the audacity, ohh

The audacity to show up honestly
How did I believe that I could only be me?
The audacity to speak without trembling
To fear not of my words, to fear not of my worthy
I'm worthy, you′re worthy, yeah
Ooh
