I see the finish;
I see the end,
so close,
so close;
there it is,
my beginning.
The end is near;
the tide has set;
the way is clear;
to freedom!
Oh, freedom!
To live!
To breathe!
To see,
the Sun rise and set each day before me.
I have begun,
I see the finish line;
I will not let fear
keep me in their shadows;
my courage is planted,
and growing within me.
I was there;
broken,
empty,
spent,
but no more.
I made it through,
all their closed doors;
I am here.
Yes, I see the finish;
I see the end,
they will not hold me back,
I am on my way to the top,
I am on my way
to set myself apart.
No more pretending;
no more mistakes,
twice was too many,
for all these tears to blind me.
So close,
so close,
there it is,
waiting for me,
my own beginning.
