lyrics

Recognition of ones self is the hardest road we can ever travel
Faced with our faults and failures we have one choice;
We can learn to grow from the past
Or we can drown in the things we cannot change
The past is the past nothing more,
I left that part of me behind,
For the chance at being something more
The past is the past nothing more,
I left that part of me behind,
To become who I'm meant to be
My faults cant hold me from what I was meant to be
Forgiven from my transgressions
I learn from where I’ve come
This is who I’m meant to be
The past is the past nothing more,
I left that part of me behind,
For the chance at being something more
The past is the past nothing more,
I left that part of me behind,
To become who I'm meant to be

If we are to become who we are truly meant to be it comes with a certain sacrifice
We cant move forward without cutting loose the things that hold us back,
Whether that be jobs, relationships or negativity.
If something is holding you from your purpose it was never meant to be there in the first place.
If you are aiming for something and it doesn't occur it isn't that God doesn't want you following your heart but He has something better for you, either now or later.
The thing we need to remember is that everything happens for a reason.
We learn from our mistakes and are forgiven regardless.
