Today, life is chaos mad, wild, out of control a raging river on which I’m trapped
You don’t need anyone else to tell you that you’re enough You can do that by yourself I know that you are that tough
I’m trapped here inside no matter how many times I’ve tried to escape this empty pit The dark, the cold, this is it The past has swallowed me whole My regrets and misery have taken a toll So I’m left to wander, always lost Wondering if my choices were worth the cost Then I look out and see something new and my hope shines through Cos even though this journey is my own I don’t have to walk it alone

Sometimes, people let you down They make a bad choice They change into someone they weren’t They slip back into old habits
It’s okay to be scared although I’m sure you’re prepared I’ll tell you why, and it’s true that I believe in you
When life threatens to overwhelm Why not give something new a chance? Take a step back from all the stress and do a little dance

Life is full of possibilities So many paths to take With each path, is another decision That you will have to make
