JOURNEY TO THAT DAY



That day that these fears leave me,
That day that I'll swim without fear,
I will dive freely,
I will be light as feather.

That day that my soul finds freedom,
That day that I will fly the world,
I will ignore echoes,
I will be kind to myself.

That day that I find my heart's pieces,
That day that I sow them together,
I will smile genuinely,
I will smile to myself.

The day that my dreams I hold,
The day that my heart will smile,
I will not doubt myself,
I will be enough.

That day that I will be enough,
That day I will look myself in the mirror,
I will love what I see,
I will forever, love myself.
