With such a small and fragile back
I looked up at the adults, life on track
I wondered how they laughed so loud
Standing tall within the crowd
Imitating them, I started my"play"
Clumsy steps in the light of day
I fell down hard, the tears started to flow
And the sky began to blur and glow
Collecting reasons why I couldn't succeed
Gathering excuses for every need
But deep inside, a tiny spark stayed bright
Refusing to fade into the night
No matter how I stumble, I still want to run
Believing pain is how my future is spun
Unfinished and raw, I’ll rise above"me"
Surpassing the person I used to be
Until I reach where the giants stand
I’ll challenge again in this lonely land
So many things I still don't know
Words and skills are moving so slow
On nights when I just wanted to quit
The longing for more wouldn't admit defeat
A distant dream kept calling my name
Pulling me back into the flame
Every single failure becomes a part of my road
The days I’ve piled up will lighten the load
Even if they laugh, I won't give up the fight
I won't abandon"me" tonight
Until I touch the edge of my prayer
I’ll keep on walking, I’m almost there
On a night I stopped, all on my own
The meaning of tears was finally shown
Even holding my weakness, I have to go
I realized it quietly, in the afterglow
No matter how I fall, I’ll rise again
Because my future self is waiting since then
It’s okay to be unfinished, this clumsy pace
Is the step that leads to a winning grace
The moment I reach their hearts at last
I’ll keep believing, moving so fast
Step by step
Surpassing me
I’m moving on
