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
