Wind, Sand And Stars

Verse 1
Travelling down this ragged as-s road
Hoping to transform from ashes to diamonds
Perhaps it's just a fool's party
But if there's a ghost of a chance
Then I'll prevail
I'm pouring my heart into it
I've got nothing left to lose
Turning fantasies into realities
Is usually more difficult than it seems

Verse 2
Something new doesn't occur every day
The past has a tendency to repeat itself
If I hate my life, I'll hate myself
So I must work harder at combating negativity
I may be on the verge of a breakthrough
But I don't know if I'm dreaming or being a fool
Fact or fiction - opposite ends of a spectrum
Somewhere in the middle is where I am

Verse 3
I search for meaning, I search for purpose
As a free agent, I'm afforded this much
Identity parades are on display
I'm still figuring out the complexities of me
Washing my brain on a regular basis
Is conducive for mental clarity
Although I've been down for so long
I believe that I'll rise, I'll rise

Chorus
The wind at my back to push me forward
The sand on my feet to guide me along
The stars in my eyes to inspire me and instill confidence
That's all I need
