A Masterpiece of Hope

I wish for wings to soar beyond my fears To rise above the noise, to dry my tears I wish for eyes to see the beauty in the night To find the stars that guide me, to shine with all their light What was going to happen? Was my life going to be okay? Was I going to find my way, come what may? Or is it that in this life, we have to deal with strife? And find our strength in the struggles, and our voice in life? I wish for a heart that beats with courage true To stand for what I believe, to see my dreams come through I wish for a soul that sings with joy and grace To dance in the rain, to find my peaceful place Let's rise above, let's take the wheel And make our lives a masterpiece, a work of art that's real For in the end, it's not about what happens to us But how we respond, how we choose to live.
