Turbulent were waters

so much so

that 

it was said

to my soul 

as it faded near the dead

rise, be bold

now

go ahead

strive

causing strife within my mind 

rearranging my life's design

sometimes, we

must experience depths

to soar in the heart's light

this year, I recollect

on more than my heart's plight

reminded forever

forward, onward

toward land of brave

I'm grounded today

that feels great

simple?

balanced, amazed

graced for the foresight

tracing passion 

from my light

Since, after all,

I'm lucky to be alive

Today I stand,

Firm and strong

The world in my hands

Forever long

Singing joyously

Forever long

The world in my hands 

Firm and strong

Today I stand,

Lucky to be alive

Tis' why

I vow

always stand tall

no matter what

tries to break

me down

I have learned,

stay deeply rooted

in my ground

my life is

my sound

What song to sing?
