My Heart Decided Long Ago

My heart decided long ago That life is for adventures, and That bound'ries flow like rivers flow. Though people told me what to know, I'd weather ev'ry reprimand -- My heart decided long ago. I fought false rhetoric, and so Set out across an unknown land, Where bound'ries flow like rivers flow. I'd learn from flower, deer, and crow -- I'd sail the sea -- walk soft, white sand -- My heart decided long ago. I felt the winds of wisdom blow -- The breath of Life, and Her command -- That bound'ries flow like rivers flow; And on Life's river now I row, My destiny within my hand; My heart decided long ago That bound'ries flow like rivers flow.
