shifted perspective

freedom is so exciting
i never thought it would be
i once thought my life was over
but now it’s just beginning

something has changed within me
i trust myself more
whatever i do will work out
someday they’ll watch me soar

sure money is an obstacle
it probably always will be
but life is so much more
then your things being fancy

the only thing i need
are the people that i love
and confidence in myself
to always rise above

i think i can make it happen
after all i really want it
i won’t be stuck here forever
trying to climb out of a pit

i feel the sun rising
on a future happy and bright
i’m glad to have that shining in my face
no matter the harm of sunlight

hope for the future
is something i’m not used to
but i can feel it coming
and it might even lead me to you
