I've come a long way
From where I was before
When everything was falling apart
And slamming to the floor

Times get tough for everyone
That's just how life goes
But sometimes we need to throw ourselves in
Rather than just dipping our toes

Takes chances and risk what you have
Do it without an ounce of fret
Because life is way too short
And no one should live with regret

Don't try to erase memories
They're what make you who you are
And when you look back
You'll see that you've come pretty far

No one said life was going to be easy
And it doesn't have to be hard
You control how it's handled
So do it with your deepest regard
