My Own Story

VERSE 1
Be my guide, give me direction, but I will decide for myself,
Choose my words, write my own sentence, wouldn’t be the right job for someone else.

PRECHORUS 1
I’m the author of my fate,
Choosing each step I truly make,
I write it on a blank page
Margin to center, from header to footer

CHORUS
This story is mine
And I will determine how my days go by
Responsible for the role that I take,
The plot and every chapter, and the paragraph along the way

VERSE 2
Ask for help, but there’s no answer, voices seem to bounce right back
Whisper, shout, it doesn’t matter, I'm gonna to get to you with my message

PRECHORUS 2
Foreshadow my own future,
Use the tools that I have now,
I learn how to form shapes
And I have the faith that I know what to make

CHORUS
This story is mine
And I will determine how my days go by
Responsible for the role that I take,
The plot and every chapter, and the paragraph along the way

BRIDGE
No one holds my pen, and I know it, it's glued firmly into my hand.
I dip it in the ink and let the fountain write, write the plan on by my side.

BRIDGE 2
I win the battles with sharp words and syllables.
I use my own phrases and a bit of courage as well, courage as well

CHORUS
This story is mine
And I will determine how my days go by
Responsible for the role that I take,
The plot and every chapter, and the paragraph along the way
