I'm setting my sights high this time.
|
This time I'm going to succeed you'll see.
|
Say your goodbyes and wave until you're out of sight.
|
The tears drop from the cheeks of all who depart.
|
|
I'm aiming for the goal but what exactly is that?
|
To become what I am and my future. It rests on this foundation.
|
It's my life, my destiny, but it isn't free.
|
I will earn what I am to become and to live off that foundation.
|
|
This is the first day of the rest of my life.
|
And I am not in it for a name or title.
|
I am learning to be myself and trusting in that.
|
Willing to work for that love the music of my soul.
|
|
I'm taking it all in and trying to give myself away at the same time.
|
I try not to fall through the cracks but sometimes I slip, everyone does.
|
It is all part of the process of growing and learning.
|
By learning I'm growing.
|
|
This is the first day of the rest of my life.
|
And I am not in it for a name or title.
|
I am learning to be myself and trusting in that.
|
Willing to work for that love the music of my soul.
|
|
And I'm not about to throw it all away.
|
For the sake of being young and avoiding responsibility.
|
And I won't turn my back on this.
|
Who would I be if I just ran away?
|
I think I'd rather not say.
|
I can't run away.
|
I can't run away
|
...but what if I fall?
