why did it take me so long to get here?
so often i am wondering why
why i have waited so long to take charge?
i have dreamt so many great things for myself
but that never seemed like a good enough reason
i suppose i thought i would do it eventually
or was afraid i would not have success
i might have chosen something else
knowing i am a person who could be happy there too
never have i given myself enough credit
for the things that i do well
so why not accept that i might be great
or that i can live the life in those dreams
its a waste to look back if you never look forward
and a waste to look forward if you never look back
so im claiming my life, its become my dream
why did it take me so long to get here?
