The First Time

For the first time, I feel that life’s treating me right Everyone’s talkin’ amongst themselves… I’m sick ‘n tired of wastin’ time I need to…train myself to become successful – Starting tonight. My life has its ups ‘n downs… How can I balance myself again? How can I be more productive this week? How much time does it take to make my life valuable? Every now and then, I feel that there’s no way out of the cage Everyone’s bringin’ up past recollections I’m willin’ to fight the good fight… but I feel like garbage… My faith towards Him slowly decays away… How can I rebuild my strength again? How can I reassure myself that I’m stronger than I realize? How much time does it take to accomplish all of my dreams? Every so often, I feel that my family doesn’t love me Do they still cherish me like hidden treasure? Do they still love me beyond measure? Everyone’s tellin’ me that I did a great job on my solo I don’t believe them entirely…but at least I got the audience’s attention My future is bright like the sun… How can I make my dreams a reality? Does God know the answer? How much time does it take to taste a sprinkle of glory? For the last time, I feel the need to reach the finish line Everyone’s proud of me for trying my best And running with all of my effort I’m willin’ to encourage myself to pass the test… Despite my struggles, I’m doing fine My courage increases by the minute… I outrun the competitive runners and I’m barely passing the test My cup is half full – I’m extremely grateful For the first time, I feel that God has answered my prayers – LIFE IS SO. . . . WONDERFUL!
