Moving Forward

I found life and I found laughter. In forgiveness, I found rest. On the shoulders of redemption, I found hope when hope was dead. I could lose it in a moment, So I dare not close my eyes. I'll watch fear fall with the sunset And see hope rise with the tide. And when the pain is true, Sometimes these troubles prove that I'm alive. My eyes are open, My heart is beating, My lungs are full, And my body's breathing. I'm moving forward. I found my freedom. I found the life that gave me reason to live. As this dusty road now settles And I see what lay before, Every tear that held a broken dream Is now shattered on the floor. And now bursting forth in splendor Are the blossoms of second tries Because dreams that bear the mark of love Are dreams that never die. Sometimes Life can feel so unkind. Sorrow won't define me So just reminds my soul. My soul My eyes are open, My heart is beating, My lungs are full, And my body's breathing. I'm moving forward. I found my freedom. I know this sorrow. I know the heartache. I know with fear comes a tragic heartbreak. Well I'm moving forward. I found my freedom. I found the life that gave the reason to love.
