Life is so short and we fail to see
the meaning of being free.
It means everything to me.
Its how I want to be.
A choice was given to live or die
I choose life and this is why.
I dont want to die
or make my loved ones cry.
I cant give up, I will go on.
Im finding that I am that strong.
My road and journey has been so long.
But I would rather live right instead of wrong.
Ive made mistakes and payed the cost.
See I have had my freedom lost.
Prison guards became my boss.
Thats the path that I want off.
Me and life go hand in hand.
I wont give up even though I can.
I know now that Im a better man.
I have the strength to finally stand.
Its been a road of ups and downs
and still i have true friends around.
No longer do i feel like the clown
who painted his smile into a frown.
My frown has turned the other way
and today I know I will be okay.
I can back up what I say.
Today is a day that my worlds not grey.
