Don't Hold Back

Don't Hold Back

Your hazy days are behind you.
You've paid your dues and more.
Your keepsafe life reminds you,
You've shown misery the door.

It's better to have fought and lost
Than not have fought at all.
Look back with pride andpraise the day.
When your back was against the wall.

Don't hold back.
Don't give way.
Just give it your best shot.
Save your tears for later years,
And give it all you've got.

I can't help thinking sometimes,
I'm so surprised to find.
You've shaken off your worries
And the shackles in your mind.
It's not like you to be so bold.
It's not like you at all.
It's not like you to break the mold.
You've never stood so tall.
