A New Day

They look at me and all they see is porcelain A fragile girl breaking within Underestimated of my highest potential Reaching too far will be my downfall But I won’t listen to the voices Saying I can’t handle these life choices I’ve seen what I’ve seen And I’ve done what I’ve done Can’t erase my mistakes, just got to move on People point and laugh, but they don’t know the real me They see who I was, not who I can be Let me run wild and free Live out love and just let it be The past is gone, a new day has come My story has now only begun I’ll shatter the walls of vulnerability Let them fall to open up possibility I’ve been running for so long I don’t know where to go Something in my soul has been begging me to know What have I got to be afraid of? What have I got to be hiding from? I’ve got nothing else to lose So I’ll steer this boat any direction I chose I’ll show them I’m more than just porcelain There’s unbreakable strength coming from within Let me run wild and free Live out love and just let it be The past is gone, a new day has come My story has now only begun Isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it great? How history stands the test of time Repeating itself every time Proving some things never change That we’re the actors and the world’s the stage It seems like our work is futile Like our efforts aren’t even worth while But we chose what we say what we do We walk down the path we chose Let me run wild and free Live out love and just let it be The past is gone, a new day has come My story has now only begun
