Getting the Right Foot Foward

Getting The Right Foot Forward

Today I'm going to stop breathing the past
I'm going to hold my head up high
I'm going to live my life

Too many times I let the antagonists win
No more- I'm strengthening my soul
I've got a life to live

Burdened by past mistakes I can't escape
I blast them with bombs- Watch 'em explode
This is my life

I reach for the golden rings of my reality
And I'm going to spread wings of serenity
I'm living life in a higher place

I've spent too many years running from reality
I'm taking life one step at a time right now
And smiling, I'm living my life

I've dried my eyes and boxed up my misery
I'm footloose and free, fancy and smilin'
Life is worth it to smile

So play your guitars and play your drums
We're all jammin' here on this grand stage
Livin' life like never before

For the first time I can see the brilliant sun
And I'm getting the right foot forward
I'm finally going to live my life
