Free Will

Don’t let me fall again from this high tree I’m trying to climb
Scars and bruises don’t hurt me more than heartache
The people on the ground direct me on which branch I have to follow
But something is telling not, is it my ego or my heart I barely know
It says that life is a path, follow your heart 
And it’ll take you where you’re supposed to go
Others think I may be too quiet when life is too frightening to be too calm
But what if you haven’t found what you are looking for 
And this age might not friendly enough to wait
I keep my visions to myself while others want to interfere 
This dreams I’m willing to live even it’ll take a whole life to make it true
I surrender myself just to make it mine, choosing life I’m ready to follow
And if you asked me what will I do in the next day
I will let the wind to guide me and let my heart ignite my way
My faith is faded away most of everyday and I give up so easily
Decisions come along the way and it’s puzzling me
Reality bites but hope is allowed to let us stand in the solid ground
Maybe my life is in the other side of the world only heaven can tell
This life is beautiful no matter how sad it might be
And in my prayer nothing but gratefulness I can utter
Under this skin and body there is a broken soul
Trying to know my own heart and struggling to figure out my life 
Where to go and how to build courage all by myself
I only believe in one thing and let faith guide me to acknowledge
