Hero to Myself
I’m standing at the bottom of a well
Rock bottom is where I fell
I thought these walls I’d never climb
I was too afraid
I thought I was all going to slip away
I was talking myself into giving up
But after that bad day, I said I had enough
Finally my heart had something to prove
Finally I felt as if there was something that I
could do
I have a free soul
I know, that anytime soon, I’m not falling in that
hole
I was just a flower waiting to bloom
I’m now closing that tomb
There’s a lot of fight still left in me
I want to become what I’m suppose to be
I’m going to make a difference too
That’s the difference between me and you
I’m going be a hero in my town
I’m never going to let anyone down
I’m going to take chances too
This I’m going to prove
Sometimes I know you feel the same
Even the fiercest beast you can tame
Don’t be afraid
You’ll thank me someday
Hold on
You’ll be better in time
You find yourself in you
Don’t put my advice on the shelf
This is coming from a hero to myself
