The Path to Perseverance

To walk the road and see the paths I could have chose
Is not to say my will cannot choose another way
I thought I'd seen the signs
But the words were not as they appeared
Now I've seen my destiny
What came to be is not what it seemed
Now I've begun
To see what is and what was meant to be
I can't run
When I need the past to set my future free
The future holds
Unexpected tests
To test my strength
The value of my quest
This second chance
Won't be for you and I
Walking away
Gave me the chance to try
Now I've opened the door
And stepped on through
To the other side
To right what's wrong
Means nothing more
Than to just move on
Now I've begun
To see what is and what was meant to be
I can't run
When I need the past to set my future free
I will believe that there's hope
I can learn to change my destiny
(x3) To take a step towards the light
And see the sparks and hope they might
Light the path to change my destiny
And now I've turned the page
And the words are mine
To redefine
And I can see again
Perspective on what is
And what might have been
Now I've resolved
The pain I caused and fought
To justify
Redefined everything
And what it meant to me
Now my resolve
Fuels the fire
That burns to light my way
Down this road
I walk to face the future
Come what may
And who I am
Won't be defined by my mistakes
But the resolve of my will
To overcome
