I am only because I once was
The night once the day, swallowing purity to the dark
For to have lived each branch
You must have felt every leaf
Every drop of rain, every sprouting seed
I am strong because I was once weak
Locking myself away so the world couldn’t see
I am wise because I have been foolish
Learning to sift through the realm of reality
Has made me adapt to change instead of resisting
I am a fighter because I have lost
Gave up before I had even begun
I am alive because I was once dead
I have a soul now, once not to be found
Courage of a lion, heart of Mother Earth
The will to bring a change into this place is bound
By the need to always move ahead, look forward
I am truthful because I have lied
I believe in family forgiveness and never to hide
I have been every shade of the rainbow
But I am only because I once was
