I wake up with the sunrise, a brand-new chance
To step a little closer to where I stand
I've made my mistakes, I've been down that road
But I'm learning to carry a lighter load
I'm taking small steps, trying to be kind
To forgive myself and to clear my mind
To be stronger, wiser than I was before
Every day's a lesson, every day's a door
I'm doing my best to be better every day
Learning from the past, finding my way
It's a climb, it's a journey, but I'm not afraid
To keep pushing forward, come what may
I look in the mirror, see who I've become
A patchwork of battles that I've lost and won
I'm mending the pieces, with patience and grace
Building a life that's more than a race
I know I'm not perfect, I've got miles to go
But I'm moving with purpose, I'm starting to grow
I'm listening closer, I'm speaking my truth
Searching for wisdom that I lost in my youth
I'm doing my best to be better every day
Learning from the past, finding my way
It's a climb, it's a journey, but I'm not afraid
To keep pushing forward, come what may
I know I'm not perfect, I've got miles to go
But I'm moving with purpose, I'm starting to grow
I'm listening closer, I'm speaking my truth
Searching for wisdom that I lost in my youth
I'm doing my best to be better every day
Learning from the past, finding my way
It's a climb, it's a journey, but I'm not afraid
To keep pushing forward, come what may
I'm doing my best to be better every day
Learning from the past, finding my way
It's a climb, it's a journey, but I'm not afraid
To keep pushing forward, come what may
I look in the mirror, see who I've become
A patchwork of battles that I've lost and won
It's a climb, it's a journey, but I'm not afraid
To keep pushing forward, come what may
There's a fire inside, and it's burning bright
Guiding me gently through the darkest nights
I stumble, I falter, but I won't lose sight
Of the person I'm becoming, who feels so right
I'm reaching out more, I'm breaking my shell
Finding my voice in this story I tell
To be more than I was, to live without fear
To stand in my truth and hold it near
I forgive my missteps, I cherish the climb
I'm making amends with the passing of time
With each breath I'm taking, I know I'll be fine
One step at a time, one mountain to climb
I'm doing my best to be better every day
Learning from the past, finding my way
It's a climb, it's a journey, but I'm not afraid
To keep pushing forward, come what may
So here's to the moments that shape who we are
The dreams that we chase, the battles and scars
I'm doing my best, come what may
Growing a little more, better every day
I wake up with the sunrise, a brand-new chance
To step a little closer to where I stand
I've made my mistakes, I've been down that road
But I'm learning to carry a lighter load
I'm taking small steps, trying to be kind
To forgive myself and to clear my mind
To be stronger, wiser than I was before
Every day's a lesson, every day's a door
I'm doing my best to be better every day
Learning from the past, finding my way
It's a climb, it's a journey, but I'm not afraid
To keep pushing forward, come what may
I'm reaching out more, I'm breaking my shell
Guiding me gently through the darkest nights
I stumble, I falter, but I won't lose sight
Of the person I'm becoming, who feels so right
