speak softly and whisper me truths
the adventures of a misspent youth
and we will laugh about those days gone by
and when the sadness comes it's okay to cry
you're here now, you made it this far
burning brightly, shining like a star
when so many people tried to hold you back
you kept on pushing, right on track
never giving in, never giving up
having faith and believing in love
and knowing that the world will always go 'round
it was in these quiet moments that you finally found
all the good you had inside
the "you" that you were trying to hide
looking back, you finally see
the person that you wanted to be
is the one you have become
