Truly alive

I was given life

but not my Self

I opened my eyes

and life began

I had to fight

to stay alive

I had to fight

to earn my dues

I’ve been down

more than I can count

I’ve been up

every time I had the strength

I swam upstream

to reach my destination

First just an idea

then a real place of love

a place of wonder

Now you can see me

because I have won

I’ve won myself

I AM NOW

TRULY ALIVE
