the start

07/26/2008

Just let the water run, dear,
It's perfectly clear,
What you can't control.
There's space left for you,
You can pull through,
This is done taking its toll.

Just let down your guard,
And pull out the shards
From your previous fall.
There's time for you yet,
So start making bets,
You can have it all.

And there's a beautiful, beautiful world out there
You've got beauty and talent and time to spare
There's a million things that you ought to share
So go out, don't look back and take care.

Just wake up from your dream,
It was perfect, it seems,
But things are getting better outside.
Write down what you hope,
It's all within your scope,
Now's your turn to seek and not hide.

Just lace up your shoes,
You know you've been used,
It's okay for the thought to still burn.
But there's much more to see,
New opportunities,
That you can conquer because you learned.

And there's so many, so many things to find
You're strong enough now to make up your mind
You can leave all you didn't want to be behind
Move forward, step up, and don't rewind

This is what the world,
Looks like to just a girl,
When looking down from the top.
You've gone so far,
You know now what you are,
There's no possible way you can stop.

These days kill you now,
But someday and somehow,
You're going to run this whole place.
So take a good look at me,
Because I need you to see,
I don't want you forgetting my face.

It's a new, a new morning, lighting up ray by ray
Don't be afraid of what you might have to say
Remember me, and don't feel like you must stay
Because this is the start of your life today.
I'll be there any way.
