I dropped this song in November 2021, and the meaning continues to hit me in wild and wonderful ways. For those of you who know full well what you're aiming for...enjoy, and may this open your wings wide.

Boldly Go

And Now (PRIDE)

There was a lonely time
When I’d do anything just to be seen
A hole inside myself
A sense of longing for what might have been
I sought a sense of worth
Permitting others to see parts of me
Adopting many roles
A quest for utter authenticity
A sacred secret life
As yet still tethered to a sense of shame
Held deep inside of me
Until I proudly could pronounce its name

And now the sunshine of my pride
Bestows the world with all that’s good
I know my worth, I will not hide
No one can tell me that I should
And now the cage door stands ajar
The gilded perch has no appeal
No longer living for acclaim
I have the courage to be real

So many years it took
Reclaiming parts of me that I’d pawned out
A noble sense of life
A light still dampened by a sense of doubt
A suit of armor worn
Against an army that advanced within
Defenses coming down
For I’ll no longer let them call it sin

And now the sunshine of my pride
Bestows the world with all that’s good
I know my worth, I will not hide
No one can tell me that I should
And now the cage door stands ajar
The gilded perch has no appeal
No longer living for acclaim
I’ve found the courage to be real

Was in my childhood days
I heard the message that I’m not enough
These are the things we permit you to love
Play by our rules and we’ll heap you with praise
Now by my love I swear
Honest and real to the end of my days
This gives a meaning to all of my tears
Love and not fear
My own life, my own way

And now the sunshine of my pride
Bestows the world with all that’s good
I know my worth, I will not hide
No one can tell me that I should
And now the cage door stands ajar
The gilded perch has no appeal
No longer living for acclaim
I’ve earned the courage to be real
