Shine a light on my heart br For my soul has begun to dim br I’m trying to survive br Because I’m destined to win br Another day lived br Is another day lost br And I will succeed br No matter the cost br You tell me to be patient br My better days await br But how can anyone say that, br When only gods knows my faith br Throw at me what you will br I shall shed no tears br My eyes have developed calluses br And dried over the years br Don’t let your fears br Be the voice from which you give me hope br Let me live my life br And maybe with your fears br I shall help you cope br Although young br My experiences have given me br More sense then I get credit for br You may frown upon my age, br But my intelligence you can’t ignore br I’m not asking for you to agree br With the choices I have made br Nor am I asking you to follow me br On the path I have laid br I believe if I follow my heart br The path ahead will clear br When your soul is content br There is nothing you should fear br In this game of life I play br I am bound by no rules br The road I travel br Is the road I choose.
