t’s hanging on the back of the bedroom door A waterfall of satin pouring down to the floor Months of picking patterns, the satin and the seams Stitching up a lifetime out of paper and dreams The hangers are heavy, the room is so still The sun’s sneaking over the crest of the hill I touch the embroidery, the delicate thread And think of the beautiful path just ahead. And I’m spinning around in this beautiful gown Letting the old walls come tumbling down Every sequin catching the sun A long-awaited story has finally begun It’s a celebration of who I am now As I look in the mirror and make this vow To honor the journey, the shadow, the light In a dress that fits perfectly tonight. She helps lift it over my head The zipper clicks shut, not a word needs be said She pulls back the veil, there’s a tear in her eye Seeing this bride as hours fly by It holds all the memories of how we began Every late-night discussion, every hope, every plan It carries the history of who I have been As I step to the threshold where futures begin. And I’m spinning around in this beautiful gown Letting the old walls come tumbling down Every sequin catching the sun A long-awaited story has finally begun It’s a celebration of who I am now As I look in the mirror and make this vow To honor the journey, the shadow, the light In a dress that fits perfectly tonight. It’s more than satin, it’s more than thread It’s the quiet voice inside my head Just breaking the mold, letting it ring Finding the courage to feel everything Unfolding the layers I used to hide Stepping out into the light outside A canvas of white, a brand new start Stitched with the truth of a changing heart. And I’m spinning around in this beautiful gown Letting the old walls come tumbling down Every sequin catching the sun A long-awaited story has finally begun It’s a celebration of who I am now As I look in the mirror and make this vow To honor the journey, the shadow, the light In a dress that fits perfectly tonight. The doors are slamming on yesterday's fight No more hiding away from the street lamp light I used to have dirt on the knees of my jeans Chasing down wild, unattainable dreams But the fabric shifts and the pattern grows clear I’m washing away the old dust and the fear With every button fastened tight I'm stepping into my own beauty and might. And I’m spinning around in this beautiful gown Letting the old walls come tumbling down Every sequin catching the sun A long-awaited story has finally begun It’s a celebration of who I am now As I look in the mirror and make this vow To honor the journey, the shadow, the light In a dress that fits perfectly tonight. t’s a quiet whisper that turns to a song Belonging exactly where I belong No longer waiting for permission to shine The future is moving, the moment is mine. And I’m spinning around in this beautiful gown Letting the old walls come tumbling down Every sequin catching the sun A long-awaited story has finally begun It’s a celebration of who I am now As I look in the mirror and make this vow To honor the journey, the shadow, the light In a dress that fits perfectly tonight. More than satin, more than thread... The voice is alive inside my head. Let it ring, let it ring. In this beautiful white gown. Just a beautiful dress, spinning around But it feels like a kingdom, and I wear the crown In this wedding gown. Oh, this wedding gown.
