Waking Up*

I cancelled all my doubts today
And pushed my fears aside
No longer will I let them
Trip me up
Slow me down
Shut me down

I pulled out all the stops today
And welcomed back my pride
No longer will I keep my dreams
Bottled up
Pushed away
All inside

I started waking up today
I'm taking things in stride
From now on I'll be
Standing up
Looking up
Owning up
It's good to be alive
