Master
To be the master of my own destiny. Ruler of my future
To walk on my own hopes to nurture
Thoughts of hopes and peace of mind
Thinking of joys that I might find
A chance to be at ease
Not just a tease
But to stand with pride
No reason to hide
From the people around
Cry without a sound
I wish upon a star
It isn't so far
That I lose sight
Get lost in the darkest night
Using hope as a light
Peering into the edge of tomorrow
No longer lost to sorrow
But lefting my head up high
I would like to fly
If but for a day
To know the right thing to say
To take away what's wrong
Been so very long
Need someone to believe
Give me some relief
Free from choices I make
Chances I take
To have sight
Live in the light
Rest from this fight
Let me see
What's to be
Face life on my own two feet
Myself I must meet
No retreat
Let me know
Help me show
My way back to light
Out from the night
Peace of mind
Is all I want to find
Set me free
So I can be
Free my head
Free me from dread
To make life grand
To understand
What I must do
To myself be true
Yet my life I must start
Reawaken my heart
To have a chance
I must take a stance
Control the negative feed
Hope is what I need
to be freed
