Introduction

Through the obscurity and the lies
I try to find myself in time
to shine my light, to feel the glow
of this life I was bestowed

I’ve been through, wind and rain
I’ve been through lots, it was insane
but my truth always remains
and it guides me on my way

I’m good and true and kind
I want a world where love can shine
where every tear is dried
and where my body feels alive

through the stages I must go
through the still and fire to know
that I’m special and to see
that I’m loved infinitely

then the challenge rises up
can I love myself that much
to commit to make the change
that I need to heal my pain?

then some courage I must bare
even if it seems unfair
for the road is paved with grief
and I long to find some peace

but the sun comes out again
and I glimpse the promised land
and I’m proud because I know
I chose my life and beat my foes

now the healing has to start
I mend my wings and mend my heart
I weave the body and the soul
wholeness becomes my goal

then springtime arrives and
like new chicks I peer outside
I chirp and run happily
because I finally feel free

what a joy to decide
how good it feels to be alive
to not wait or have to hide
to spread my wings so I can fly

yes, I’ll live before I die
here I go watch me fly
if you want to follow me
I’m by the river in the trees

I don’t have to live like you
I can live by other rules
I am strong and I’m not scared
The New Day I have declared
