I Have Choice, I Am Free

Instructed to order, his command I’d abide To live and to breathe, right there at his side. My life was for him to do as he please, Until I remembered the strength inside me. I found my courage and chance to be free. So now when I see the pour of the rain I walk through the re-growth, Remembering my own regeneration. When I see the sun fading, I smile, Looking forward to tomorrow, Because it's mine to plan. When I see grey clouds pass overhead, I know I am strong enough to highlight the fun I had today. If I am pulled down, criticized, I know it's my choice to listen. So with each bad day I remind myself of one good thing, And know I can make lots more tomorrow. I AM FREE! It’s my life now and I’ll make it how I want it to be. When I smile I know others smile with me, And as I laugh others laugh with me, And if they do laugh at me, why should it matter, I make the future bright because I have new strength, That grows with each new sun set. I am free and it's okay to be me. So when the night turns cold and I’m alone, I know I’m alright because I have new insight to guide me, And I now have choice standing beside me.
