Right all along

In the beginning I was scared.
In the beginning I was sad.
In the beginning I was broken.
In the beginning I was blind.

As the ground crumbled beneath me,
As the sun was no longer shinning,
As the flowers were no longer blooming,
As my hard desperately reached for yours,
I collapsed.

Then once you came to see me,
Then once I felt your love surround me,
Then once I knew you were with me,
Then once I woke up, I was dreaming.

Strategically you placed me somewhere.
Little by little,
You orchestrated quite a plan.
Little by little,
I got up from the ground.
Little by little,
Your voice I have found.

I used to believe instincts came from within,
How naïve.
I used to believe I was lucky,
How naïve.
Luck is not guiding my way,
How naïve.
Your love is, and it’s here to stay.

What you are to me, Mother,
No one will ever be.
What you felt for me, Mother,
No one will ever feel.
How you saw me, Mother,
No one will ever see.

You taught me to always love.
You taught me to let hate go.
You taught me to be strong.
And again you’re teaching me,
I’m not wrong.

I’m right to stand up for myself.
I’m right to love unconditionally,
Even if it doesn’t please everyone else.
I’m right to forgive,
I’m right to believe you are right here.
