A year ago I was in a different place I was all across the ocean I was wearing longer face I was wearing shorter clothes I was moving slower pace I was wearing harder face I was wearing longer face When I'm riding through the park When the wind is at my face When I let it hit my jacket When I let the birds race When I take my hands off When I take it all in When I let myself be When I let myself win When I put myself first I don't do myself in I don't do myself worse When I let myself grin How my life isn't cursed How my life isn't grim How my life contains sun How my life contains wind I can let them shoot first I can let them shoot last I can let them eat slow I can let them eat fast I can tell them no more I can let them all fast My life is my choice My future's not past
