It seems like a life might just come by
If I make that turn in the road
Don’t really know
Can’t be so sure
But yet there is always that one thing
One thing we call hope

Like the first breath we take
Like the first smile we break
Life will rise again and again
After times full of cry and pain

Don’t miss on the chance
Don’t run away from the dance
Things will fall in place
If you just keep trying
Trying when it pains
Trying when you see no gains

It’s a test for the best
Don’t be a part of rest
Don’t look back on what you can’t erase
Make that turn knowing its life that you would face

Like the first breath we take
Like the first smile we break
Life will rise again and again
After times full of cry and pain

NoW...

I am done being sad
I think I will be frank
I will let me see the way I have been
Sullen and tired, fallen and disgraced
Like a broken leaf lying under the rain

Now is a new start
Now is the beginning
Now is when I will smile
Now is when I would rise

I will not walk with my head turned down
With eyes all red and a gloom which all but marks my doom
I am done thinking about what left me behind
I will not whittle the little that’s left of me

Now is a new start
Now is the beginning
Now is when I will smile
Now is when I would rise

Let them know what they left of me was enough
Enough to rebuild my own self the way I see it in rewind
Not cowed down by nightmarish nights
Not tearful over what I believed naively was rightfully just mine

I will dream the dreams
I will not be bogged down by the failures I have seen
I will live if not succeed, on terms of my own
On terms of my own, with a life like the one I had dreamed

Now is a new end
Now is the new beginning
