It's been so long that I forgot, so many days since I lost my faith
Everything that I held dear can't comfort me now
Why am I suffering like this? Why is there so much pain today?
'Cause this is where I chose to be, and I won't give up, you'll see
There must be a way, there must be an answer waiting here, just for me
After I tried and tried, suddenly, I finally realized
Even the deepest wounds are not enough, I know I can get up,
I know every tear just means I'm strong enough to fight for another day
'Cause I'm not running all this way for someone else
My knees aren't bent because I'm giving up myself
Just a little more, and soon I'll jump high and far away
Because there's a new bond that we have made today
My heart is shouting out for me to fly far away
A little more, just one more step this way
Before the "hows" and the "whys"
Finally catch me here in mid-stride
Let me sort these feelings out
These thoughts overflow, and envelop my mind
They must have a meaning, they must be fine
I was so scared and I was so afraid, I didn't want to feel any pain
So I stopped right in my tracks, ignoring everything
'cause I didn't want them hating me, so I chose to walk down this path
I thought it would be an easy dream, but that's not my destiny
There must be a dream, there must be a goal that only I can fulfill
I can feel my heart beating fast, a fire in my chest
Embracing tightly onto the idea that I'm not giving up,
Now I will believe
I'll keep on fighting on so I won't be defeated again
'Cause I'm not laughing loud like this for someone else
My tears aren't pouring down tonight for just myself
Every drop's a weight I'm shedding so I can fly up high
And every little smile gives me energy
A little jolt right to my heart to remind me
A little more, just one more step, you'll see!
All of those dear memories
Are someone out there, lying in sleep
Somewhere, far beyond the skies
If somehow I could wake them up, I would see
They must have a meaning, they must be seen
'Cause I'm not running all this way for someone else
My knees aren't bent because I'm giving up myself
Just a little more, and soon I'll jump high and far away
Because there's a new bond that we have made today
My heart is shouting out for me to fly far away
A little more, just one more step this way
Before the "hows" and the "whys"
Finally catch me here in mid-stride
Let me sort these feelings out
These thoughts overflow, and envelop my mind
They must have a meaning, they must be fine
