I can’t change this for you

You must to do this for yourself

This is your journey

The path will be difficult

There may be sharp stones to tread, and deep channels to cross

Twists and turns to disorient and confuse you

But this is a path you must travel just the same

Despite the pain… because of the pain

I can’t change this for you

You must do this for yourself

This is your journey

A journey to renewal of self

Somewhere, in life’s chaos, a part of you was lost

That part of you I loved, I could laugh with, and I wanted to know

That part of you that is like no other

Follow the path leading back to who are you

Despite the pain…because of the pain

I can’t change this for you

You must do this for yourself

This is your journey

But believe me when I tell you, you aren’t alone

When you need me, I’ll be your friend

I’ll encourage you, I’ll stand with you, I’ll celebrate you

I’ll hold your hand when you need hope

But you must take this journey

Despite the pain…because of the pain
