For far too long, I stood still

Always had the heart, but somehow I lost the will

What are we to do, when we lose our way?

How do we begin to change our lives and make a difference in our day?

There comes a time, for us to change the recipe

Because spinning our wheels, is what challenges you and me

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Now I realize

Its not the living of each day that makes us wise

And if it takes a thousand tries

I am going to climb this mountain, for on the ascent my spirits sure to rise

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Too many times, we forget to live

With all the passion in our hearts, we have so much to give

Where do we turn, when it seems that we are lost?

When will we learn that the price is far different than the cost?

There comes a time, for us to tap into our power

For the living is in the moments and the minutes of every hour

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

I look into the skies

I know that a bird has to spread its wings before it flies

And if I fall a thousand times

I am going to learn how to elevate above the horizon, and like a Phoenix I will rise
