I used to be alive
But just barely getting by
Waiting for someone to care
Hoping someone would understand
My heart was pulled around
My feelings never mine
Like a wind without a home
Easily blown apart inside
I drifted day by day
Thought that was all my life
Till that one second changed my life
In just a moment
I finally came alive
Before I was just alive
Now I’m truly me
I don’t need others’ praise
I don’t fear you’ll leave
After that moment
I live just for me
Now I’m really living
Calm and deep inside
My feelings are my own
My heart no longer has to hide
I don’t need to please
I’m not afraid to be wrong
I hold myself up strong
My life finally has a song
No more rushing anxiously
No more hiding silently
That moment lit my world
And shined on all of me
In just a moment
I finally came alive
Before I was just alive
Now I’m truly me
I don’t need others’ praise
I don’t fear you’ll leave
After that moment
I live just for me
Growing up don’t take years
It happens in just one second clear
The world is still the same old place
But I am not the same me
In just a moment
I finally came alive
Before I was just alive
Now I’m truly me
I don’t need others’ praise
I don’t fear you’ll leave
After that moment
I live just for me
Before that moment
I was just alive
After that moment
I finally lived my life
