MOVING FORWARD
I am not crawling back like a snail to its shell
I am standing tall, breaking free from my cell
I've shed the chains that held me down
And now I walk on higher ground
I am not a victim of my past
Nor am I defined by pain that lasts
I am a warrior, a fighter strong
Who knows where he belongs
My dreams are big, and my spirit free
I won't let fear get the best of me
I am not crawling back, I'm moving ahead
With every step, I leave behind what's dead
So let the winds of change blow strong
I'll keep on moving all along
For I am not crawling back like a snail to its shell
I am embracing life, and I'm doing it well.
