My roots run deep
Some strong some weak
But slowly I see
New shoots of green
A smile, a laugh
A moment of peace
I’m going to turn over a brand new leaf
I choose life
To battle the strife
To put on my armour and fight the good fight
Energy and strength
And doing what’s right
I’m going to retrain my stubborn mind
Won’t look back
I’ll only fall
Into the abyss I know too well
I’ll grow t’ward the light
The future’s in sight
Open up my wings and finally take flight
I’ve got to keep moving, moving on
Even when everything feels so wrong
Though I wish I could, I can’t change what’s gone
But I can change the ending of this song
