A Better Man

You take a step forward and a two steps back

Its disappointing so you give up and relax.

You lay here and chill there,

As if you've got much time to spare.

Then suddenly you lie awake.

You think of your weakness,

You think of your strength,

You think of all the things you could have been.

This is your life; this is your chance;

The time for you to become a better man.

So you take a step forward and then you look back.

You think of all that happened in the past.

You drop a tear, you cross a brow,

But you turn the page and force a smile.

You put whats been on the shelf,

And you make it a promise to yourself.

This is your life; this is your chance;

The time for you to become a better man.

You take a step forward and then you look ahead.

You begin to wonder if it's all in your hands.

You want your life; you want your dream,

But just how can you?

When your heart has not yet healed.

This is your life; this is your chance;

The time for you to become a better man.

You take a chance and go hit the road.

You do it all because you know you're on your own.

You step up but you hold your breath.

A part of you wants to hide with the rest.

But you say no to those who say so,

Then you hit go,

And move on as a better man.
