The First Song of the Rest of Your Life

There’s a gift I gotta give to myself

Been around it trying to get it from someone else

And the truth is I’m terrible, wonderful, beautiful and awful

All in the same life

And maybe I’m not the worstest person in the fucking world

I’m just a person in the world

If I can’t make it right

I owe it to my mother to survive

Cos she had to fight

To build a life just for us

And there’s no words for that kind of love

It’s unconditional it’s in my heart

And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t try

To be in her arms again

Volcano that lives inside your chest

Lay dormant it explodes to consciousness

And the truth is the internet will give you any answer

You think that you deserve

And sometimes life goes wrong do what you can be strong

Don’t let it haunt you for too long

If I can’t make it right

I owe it to my future to survive

Cos I once took a flight

Saw the sky above the storm

And there’s no words for that kind of blue

Icy clarity in azure hues

And there’s nothing I wouldn’t try

To see that sky again…………………..
