Rebirth

I had them all in the palm of my hand
But I let them loose like grains of sand
I lost it all in a whisper
A whisper you didn’t hear.

I cried myself to sleep
I’d fell in too deep
I’d given in to the threats that lurk
And I could only weep

But I’ll prove them wrong
I’ll write that song
I’ll show them I’m not afraid to say
I’ll show them I can turn the clock
Because I can.

I began a new era that night
I kept away stayed out of sight
I built myself a soul again
And I believed.

I would like to hold my head up high
And if I fail at least I tried
I can show myself some respect
Instead of wishing I’d died

I lay there dreaming
Of what I could be
To whom I could prove to
That I am me
To show the world
That I am back
To tell them that I’m on track
To show them I can still be great
To allow them to appreciate
A changed person.
