I can fix my mind

I could find my better side

I can lift this weight up off me

I’ma reach that shade

I decide my better days

I got the pen to my own story

So watch me unfold

See my wings, I’ll spread ‘em so

You see the holes but still they hold me

I’ll let ‘em loose, I’m proud of mine

Nothing blooms from apple pie

Every wound’s got shades of glory

 

But sometimes it’s a little harder

Getting by is a little hard earned

At times that’s living on earth

And when life gets a little harder

And inside there’s a bit of thunder

This the why I’m living under

 

It’s ‘cause I say so

Today I win

In this battle scene I’m in

Underneath my skin

Because I say so

Today I’ll be

The type to pull the weeds away

from the blues

to get blueberries

 

I free myself

From all that I cannot help

And all that I cannot change

And I’ll see the gifts that come

without sleigh bells

At least I’m doing my best

I don’t got an ’S’ on my chest

I can feel lesser than less

Like I’m too low for the glow of the sunset

 

‘Cause sometimes, god dammit

It all sounds like a lie, god dammit

I feel taken for a ride, god dammit

I gotta say it through the fire I am in:

If I can breathe beneath these clothes

That’s the victory that’s sewn

In the space between my skin and my soul

 

Because I say so

Today I win

In this battle scene I’m in

Underneath my skin

Because I say so

Today I’ll be

The type to pull the weeds away

from the blues

to get blueberries
