The clouds have shifted, the storm has passed
My pain has lifted, my wounds have scabbed
And all of the sadness that once lived inside is melting away
As the sun sets on the freeway
Now all I see are blue skies, blue skies, blue skies in front of me
And I can see a new day, a new way, a new me
Feels like it's the first time in my life
that I am free
Feels like it's the first time in my life that the sun is shining on me
Stuck in the shadows for so long
It's like I'm falling in love
For the very first time
For the very first time
Depressed and anxious, losing the fight
Self medicating just to get by
Cause all of baggage weighing me down, it was never mine to hold
All I had to do was let go
Now all I see are blue skies, blue skies, blue skies in front of me
And I can see a new day, a new way, a new me
Feels like it's the first time in my life
that I am free
Feels like it's the first time in my life that the sun is shining on me
Stuck in the shadows for so long
It's like I'm falling in love
For the very first time
For the very first time
