Question
Ambition
A thousand stars are lighting up for me
The path I walk is made of fluffy clouds
The railing I hold on to is a rainbow
I am going exactly where I need to be
Gone are the days of doubt and self-pity5
I know that I can move a mountain
These legs won’t tire, these arms won’t give up
I will carry a ladder, a boulder, the sea
This is hope lighting up a flame in me
The goal is in sight, the road is clear10
The journey is long, but my heart is strong
Goodbye darkness, farewell uncertainty
Yesterday I was in chains, now I am free
Gone are the days I wondered “what if”
I’ve let go of fear, the thief of joy15
Belief in myself is elixir, for I am me
