[Verse 1: Dara Reneé, Joshua Bassett]
Don't need a king, I got my crown
Don't need a hero to lift me off the ground
I built this heart, it's beating loud
Won't let no bad blood ever bring us down
[Pre-Chorus: Frank A. Rodriguez, Julia Lester]
Keep flying higher, fight like a fighter
What if I'm everything that I will ever need?
A Queen messiah, a strong survivor
Even the worst days won't get the best of me, 'cause I was
[Chorus: Julia Lester, Dara Renee, Joshua Bassett, Frank A. Rodriguez, & Julia Lester]
Born to be brave
I know who I am inside and I won't apologize
Made my mistakes
And they gave me wings to fly to my castle in the sky
[Verse 2: Matt Cornett, Sofia Wylie]
I used to feel like I was lost
It's like my phone's navigation was turned off
But it's the road I stumbled on
That led me right to the place where I belong
[Pre-Chorus: Larry Saperstein, Olivia Rodrigo]
Keep flying higher, fight like a fighter
What if I'm everything that I was meant to be?
A blazing fire that's getting brighter
Don't need nobody here that don't believe in me, 'cause I was
[Chorus: HSMTMTS Cast]
Born to be brave
I know who I am inside and I won't apologize
Made my mistakes
And they gave me wings to fly to my castle in the sky
[Post-Chorus: HSMTMTS Cast]
Let my hair down and let it go
No more running, I run this show
Way up here, yeah, the view is gold
Born to be brave
Now I'm standing miles high like castles in the sky
[Bridge: HSMTMTS Cast]
Bosses and queens, stand up on your thrones
Know who you are, this is your kingdom
Legends at heart, individuals
Go make your mark, be original!
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: HSMTMTS Cast]
'Cause I was born to be brave
I know who I am inside and I won't apologize
Made my mistakes
And they gave me wings to fly to my castle in the sky
[Post-Chorus: HSMTMTS Cast]
Let my hair down and let it go
No more running, I run the show
Way up here, yeah, the view is gold
I was born to be brave
Now I'm standing miles high like castles in the sky
[Outro: HSMTMTS Cast]
Like castles in the sky
Don't need a king, I got my crown
Don't need a hero to lift me off the ground
I built this heart, it's beating loud
Won't let no bad blood ever bring us down
[Pre-Chorus: Frank A. Rodriguez, Julia Lester]
Keep flying higher, fight like a fighter
What if I'm everything that I will ever need?

[Chorus: Julia Lester, Dara Renee, Joshua Bassett, Frank A. Rodriguez, & Julia Lester]
Born to be brave
I know who I am inside and I won't apologize
Made my mistakes
