There are blessings in life
if one only looks,
and it doesn't matter
what chances you took
to get where you are,
even if lost in the dark.
you have to keep going,
keep hitting that mark.
Someday you'll look back
at the mountains you climbed
while they're at the bottom,
you'll scream to the sky
"Y'all didn't break me"
Thanks for the tears.
I turned them into fuel
to get myself outta there.
I told you way back when
we'd both come to this.
Me steady climbing,
you still on the ground crawling.
Thanks for the lessons
Your lost was my found.
