Story Behind The Song
When you have people around you telling you you're not gonna make it as a singer-songwriter, you don't care.
But when it's people really close to you, you pay attention, you even doubt yourself and take what they say as consideration.
That's what happened to me...until i realize that the only voice I need to consider is mine..no matter who..no matter what.
Song Description
It's an open letter to the people who told me I could never do what i do.
And as their words get more hurtful, I try to sing louder and realize I don't need their approval.

Lyrics
You said I couldn't do it and i believed you
You told me I was looking to fill my empty soul
You said Dreams die as we grow old
You want to be my friend but you don't know how
When someone lifts me up, you try to put me down
You say Dreams die as we grow old
So grow up And hear me out
Flames got bigger and bigger
Don't stand too close
Barriers got taller
Don't try to crawl
I can't take it anymore
So my voice gets louder
And my soul raises Higher .....Higher
Now I'm lost but I really want to be found
Everything you said will now make no sound
I say Dreams are what we want to be so dream hard and stop saying that
Flames got bigger and bigger
Don't stand too close
Barriers got taller
Don't try to crawl
I can't take it anymore
So my voice gets louder
And my soul raises Higher .....Higher
