lyrics

Well, I don’t feel much different inside
But my hopes are now alive
I fought my way back from descent
Now I know that I’m heading in the right direction again

Autonomy is what I craved
I needed freedom from an early grave
I charted course for the unknown
Space and time were the catalysts—now look how much I’ve grown

Today, from the immature boy who would throw it all away
Today, I do my best each moment; bit by bit I feel OK
No way, am I ever going back to revisit the past
I’m so much better off now
Moving forward is the cure today

Every day I’m setting firsts
Meeting every challenge, knowing things could be worse
Full speed ahead like I’m being chased
Without limits is the way that I’ll always run this race

Positivity enables me
I’ve reimagined my reality
Control of my future is what I’ve owned
Gaining wisdom from adversity—now look how much I’ve grown

Today, from the immature boy who would throw it all away
Today, I do my best each moment; bit by bit I feel OK
No way, am I ever going back to revisit the past
I’m so much better off now
Moving forward is the cure today

Here’s to flexing your might
Here’s to never fearing taking chances, being honest about exactly what feels right
Here’s to being willing to fight
Here’s to never feeling like it matters what the world will think, so go out and live your life
And be who you want to be

And I’ve grown
Today, from the immature boy who would throw it all away
Today, I do my best each moment; bit by bit I feel OK
No way, am I ever going back to revisit the past
I’m so much better off now
Moving forward is the cure today
