| In this life of mine, it took so long to get where I needed to be
|
| These chains, they kept me on the ground
|
| My world came crashing down on me
|
| I found my crutch, a new hope to believe in
|
| I watched the way you fall
|
| I watched the way you let go
|
| A glass shatters, I’ve seen you fall apart, I’ve picked up the pieces
|
| To see such a monument, I’ve caught a sight of who I shouldn’t be
|
| Without your guidance, I still know right from wrong
|
| And with this voice, I’m definitely making a positive choice, a glimpse of who
|
| I really am
|
| All of this has made who I am today
|
| I’ve waited for so long for an answer
|
| It’s all clear to me now, I finally know who I am
|
| The life of a man, the mirror in front of my face
|
| My new life has been brought to mind
|
| So many years of conflict it took me to find
|
| Here’s to the boy you once knew
|
| I watched you run away
|
| I watched the way you let go
|
| False steps of many miles you’ve traveled
|
| (Gerry of These Lights Above Us)
|
| I will keep carrying this torch, forever burning so bright
|
| My youth, I’m here to take it back for good
|
| Corrupted promises, I conquered through
|
| Your mountains of disappointments, I finally know who I am
|
| The right direction, here’s a new man
|
| Note:
|
| Instead of dwelling on the past, or someone’s mistake, use it as an advantage
|
| to learn from the mistakes and realize it. |
| Growing up, my father wasn’t there
|
| for me. |
| I waited for so long for answers and everyday I asked why he never
|
| wanted me to be a part of his life. |
| I overcame through it, and told myself that
|
| I won’t ever take the same path as he did. |
| When I have my own children,
|
| I know I’ll be there for them
|
| I’ll be a more of a man than my father could ever be |
