From now on, I'll focus eyes above the trees
when years have yet to be designed
with unknown lands, the eyes can't see.
I can't forget what's left behind,
or the weight of tears that buckled knees,
but will look ahead, and set them free
Scars left upon the heart grew deep
and I felt the thorns that taunted me
But, I'll release the ghosts and set them free
to make my peace with destiny.
Some tears have washed away the times,
of steeper footpaths that I have climbed.
I will persevere, again, regain
a willingness to change the rhyme
Next year has yet to be designed
where eyes can see, where promise lies
We can't forget what's left behind,
but to all those things, let's say goodbye...
and spread new wings to fly
