Focus on a new way
A new day has begun for me
I thought that yesterday was a bad day
So I took my time to figure it out
Whats the right way to live by me
(So I'll find a reason why)

All my life I've been waiting for a chance like this
(I've seen horizons fall before me)
All my life I've been wishing for your promises
(I always thought I'd be a failure)
All my life all my life I've been here

Sorrow was the old way
I won't subdue the truth
From regrets and failure I arise
To redefine all they expected of me
In the meantime I hope you'll see
You never stood by me
(And now you know the reason)

All my life I've been waiting for a chance like this
(I've seen horizons fall before me)
All my life I've been wishing for your promises
(I always thought I'd be a failure)
All my life all my life I've been here

All my life I've been waiting for a chance like this
(I've seen horizons fall before me)
All my life I've been wishing for your promises
(I always thought I'd be a failure)
All my life all my life I've been here

All my life I've been waiting for a chance like this
(I've seen horizons fall before me)
All my life I've been wishing for your promises
(I always thought I'd be a failure)
All my life all my life I've been here
