To Be Better

Break the hard chains of fate Roads we walk we create For our futures are wide and vast To respect and respond To add strength to our bond Cast the fury into the past I can choose to be better at last Through all the pain I've grown Warm up this old heart of stone Leave the hurt behind Tearing the threads of the tethers Leave the hurt behind We can choose to be better We can choose to be better Crush the bones of despair In the jaws of the bear Prophecies may come to pass Keep the beast deep within Always under the skin Let it claw through the mirror's glass I can choose to be better at last And even a heart of stone Can warm when no longer alone Leave the hurt behind Tearing the threads of the tethers Leave the hurt behind We can choose to be better We can choose to be better In this winter of woe Seeds of hope they still grow Sheets of white over rock and grass From contempt I have turned Now I'm just trying to learn Burning skies now overcast I can choose to be better at last Leave the hurt behind Tearing the threads of the tethers Leave the hurt behind We can choose to be better Leave the hurt behind Tearing the threads of the tethers Leave the hurt behind We can choose to be better We can choose to be better
