I promised I'd write a song for you

Ask For More by Julie Iannone



I walk around with this permanent smile,

because I can’t erase these lines

you’ve drawn across my face.

You woke me up,

opened my eyes

and now I can’t fall asleep at night.

I'm waiting for a chance to shine,

to be all I can be.

A chance to live

and a chance to give.

A chance to make someone happy.



The world gets quiet when I think of you,

it all makes sense.

This peaceful place I’ve found is brand new

and I won’t let it go.



I need to breathe,

I need to laugh.

Need to see

all that I’ve missed.

Wake me up,

bring me to life.

I want to fly, I'm ready.

Ready to soar, just give me that chance.

I won’t ask for more,

You already make me so much happier.



When I look at you

It’s all okay

Even on the darkest day

My smile brings hope

I know I can make it

through this rain.



I’ve never written

with this confidence

It’s all so foreign to me

To have words like laugh and live

I never thought they’d belong on my lips

But now they have a new meaning



I need to live,

I need to wish.

Need to see

all that I’ve missed.

Wake me up,

bring me to life.

I want to fly, I'm ready.

Ready to soar, just give me that chance.

I wont ask for more,

You already make me so much happier.



I want to do the same,

Make you laugh as I learn.

Use this new feeling

And explore our world

Maybe it’s not so difficult

after all.



But if this is a dream,

Let me sleep for now.

At peace with who I am

I want to know who you are.

We’ll learn to laugh

We’ll be free

From all the hate

From all the weight

We’ll learn to fly



Because I’m ready to soar,

Just give me that chance.

I can’t ask for more,

You already make me so much happier.
