Today i shall let myself live.
open my eyes to the world.
today i shall let myself love
love you like I've never loved before
today i shall let myself forgive
forgive myself for all my faults
today i shall learn.
learn of the world and its beauty
today i shall be grateful
of you and everything you are.
today i shall breath
take in the crisp air and feel it in my lungs
today i shall kiss
every square inch of your skin
today i shall rediscover
my lost hope and faith
and today i shall rejoice
and praise you by your name
