a year ago i was in a different place i was all across the ocean i was wearing longer face i was wearing shorter clothes i was moving slower pace i was wearing harder face i was wearing longer face when i m riding through the park when the wind is at my face when i let it hit my jacket when i let the birds race when i take my hands off when i take it all in when i let myself be when i let myself win when i put myself first i don t do myself in i don t do myself worse when i let myself grin how my life isn t cursed how my life isn t grim how my life contains sun how my life contains wind i can let them shoot first i can let them shoot last i can let them eat slow i can let them eat fast i can tell them no more i can let them all fast my life is my choice my future s not past
