This is the path that I follow
Cause everything else has been leaving me hollow
Crave a better tomorrow
I've felt like I've lost it's a hard pill to swallow
When they don't wanna see the good in you
When this is all that you believe in and you see it through
With everybody on the other side just peeking through
It only makes you want to justify the way you speak your truth
This is all I am
A gap-toothed grin in a shell of a man
Pulling past all the pretenses put in the plan
Won't put it past them if people are pulling my hand
In their own direction
But my progression is by my discretion
Trials and lessons never closed my path
So I keep trying my best, they won't hold me back
I learned to take it all in stride
One day at a time
So step by step I climb
This path of mine
So with the weight of the world on my shoulders
And when my heart couldn't get much colder
I won't let my fears control my happiness
When I can only do my best to go on
I'll try to stay strong
And run forever
I won't let these fears control my mind state
And hold me back from finding my own way
Am I seeing light while fleeing in the dark?
Am I paralyzed? I can hear my beating heart
Don't wait for the chance
They won't give it to you if you stay
So complacent but there has to be another way
Know your circumstance
Stay on the course
If it pushes you down come back at it with force and
Just take your time and climb it
Know that always
You'll stand growing
Above it all
And know that when it seems that your whole world is burning
You'll find it in the fire to press on
I learned to take it all in stride
One day at a time
So step by step I climb
This path of mine
So with the weight of the world on my shoulders
And when my heart couldn't get much colder
I won't let my fears control my happiness
When every inch of this path tries to bury me alive
I'll keep on moving forward one mountain at a time
Step by step
I take it step by step
I take it step by step
So with the weight of the world on my shoulders
And when my heart couldn't get much colder
I won't let my fears control my happiness
When I can only do my best
With every step I leave a light behind me
You know I won't let the weight of the darkness bind me
I'll step in stride until my legs collapse
Now I can only do my best to go on
I'll try to stay strong
I'll press on
Hold strong
And run forever
