I believe I was never thankful enough

For what I have and what I earned

Seeing the world with the best I had

Made me realise that everyone's a little burnt

But they also have something so beautiful

People to make them smile

Being lent a shoulder when they need a good cry

A sweet reminder that they are loved every once in a while

Not everyone is born with a healthy body

And yes, not all can maintain their peace of mind

But the world gives them enough

So they could keep trying

Look at me, look at you

Decide if you want to keep trying harder

Because if there are good swimmers

There are people who can barely keep their head above water

*******************************************************************************************

You've made me laugh

You've made me cry

You've made me sad and lonely

Yet i still try

You've brought the best people in this world

To me and i can't thank you enough

But little storms were a package deal

Which, to be honest, made living a little rough

Mean things some people did

Have sure broken my heart into pieces

Still my heart is glued by those few people

Whose little acts of kindness never cease

So I'm taking a moment to appreciate this life

Because what more do I need?

Joy, melancholy, love, frenzy 

And if there's one thing that can never be satisfied, it's man's greed 

*************************************************************************************

I was this close to touching the sky

They clipped my wings

Saying I was flying too high

Too close to the sun

Too far from the ones

Who held my truth

And held me down

But I learned from the sun

And burned my chains

I shone so bright

They let me soar despite

The words that turned them cold 

And made me bold

So, let the heights scare me

I won't back down

This is my fight

I'm going to seize the crown
