I lie awake absolutely frozen
I feel so trapped
Living by one day to the next
Waiting for it to get better

Until I read a line
I see a moment
I hear a song
And right where I stand

Time seems to freeze
A candle burns bright by my bedside
As I think about all that is ahead of me

A person introduced
A laugh escaped
A love journeyed
A friend gained
A loss remembered
A dream made
Then broken
A life that will one day be over
But is now just beginning

I'm so lucky
For all the things that had to happen
It's me that is standing here
It's this life that I'm witnessed to
And I need to take it on with all I have

Cause one day
I'll look back and laugh
And thank the universe for giving me
A ChAncE
