Anyone with eyes

Could very quickly see

That the flame of passion in my soul

Was nothing more than cold lumps of coal

There once was a blazing fire in my soul

I was filled with so much passion

Fuled with determination to reach my goal

Every denial adding fire to my ambition

But determination only lasts so long

Failure acts like rain

When you’re always told you’re doing it wrong

You wonder if your efforts are in vain

I continued to push and try

As two more years went by

I finally decided that I’d give it one last try

I gave them my all

Left my heart on the floor

I finally started to fly

But once again I was locked behind the door

Then I entered the studio

They opened their door

They held me up when I was low

And I couldn’t ask for more

I felt the familiar spark

I missed it more than you know

They fanned it to life

And I felt it burn and grow

I knew I found my place

I knew that I belonged

In life’s great race

I finally found my song

I left my team for good

Took my place on the studio floor

The coal turning to wood

As I spread my wings to soar

So I took off into the sky

No longer held by chains

I happily waved goodbye

My spirit takes its rightful place

In resurrecting my passion

My joy and freedom reign
