Face the Dawn
Here's to fresh beginnings,
To the newness that they bring;
Such sweet rejuvenation,
I have found in this, my spring.
A change is what I so desired,
To find myself again;
So patiently I've waited,
Searched for strength to come within.
And on this new horizon,
As I face the coming dawn,
I'm thankful for the many trials
That I was thrust upon.
For though I was perplexed at times,
And shadows hid the light;
I've woken to a fresh new day,
That followed those dark nights.
Revitalized and strengthened
From my long and hazy sleep;
I look to better days ahead ...
For promises to keep.
A pact I've made to me alone;
I'll not give up this fight;
If I keep pushing onward,
I will see the break of light.
So bring on all you can, dear world,
I've woken from my sleep ...
You can't defeat me anymore;
I shall not bow and weep.
I'll fight the darkest demons,
I will climb the highest hills;
You've no idea just how strong
I've fortified my will.
And though you tried to hold me down,
I didn't flee or run;
I'll not be timid, shy or drawn ...
I've only just begun.
So break of dawn, I welcome you,
I'm ready to begin,
A brand new day with strength renewed ...
I'm ready now to win!
