Look At You Now

On that cold July morning Twenty something years ago Hard decisions hard been made To be removed and forgotten So they went up the stairs to the doctor's clinic He was ready to have you gone She was unsure, hence decided to keep you Her older son before his death, had seen in a dream that she would have three daughters She knew after you, she had one more to go Twenty something years down the line You are a woman now, overwhelmed by a foreign land Calculating how to deal with your current hardships Looking forward for your big future achievements Big goals, big dreams But how big can a dream be, when you are about to do the same act that was almost done to you? Tough decisions The man behind the door Always whispering, exciting, promising... But look at him, he is behind the door for a reason He is a liar and he knows your weak points Working you with a string he does So you can end up with him, like him Tough decisions Right now there are so many roadblocks But roll down the window Look at the green grass smoothly spreading And sometimes you may spot a blooming flower And believe. .... That you can break through Don't lose focus of who you are Look at you now.
