It's All Up To You

Every little crack I have
Deep inside my soul
I am unashamed of them
Through those I've learned to grow

Every little break I have 
Inside my beating heart
Yes they hurt profoundly
They let me know I am alive

Every little doubt I have
That crosses through my mind
Though at times seems impossible
Have helped me see my dreams

Every little mistake I've made
I've used them as stepping stones
To build an even bigger path
That leads to roads unknown

Life it is a balancing act
A tightrope walk of your will
The outcome it is up to you
Will you cross safely or will you take a spill
