Fortunate

I was always okay
But I watched friends grow up poor
Not sure where their next meal would be
Latchkey and and lonely at heart

Every single breath I take is reassurance
I try not to take my life for granted
It all just flashes by so fast
Try to savour our time before it's gone

What I wouldn't give to be standing next to you
A lifetime of struggle just to get where I am
Persistence, resilience, and a heart full of flair
I've made this far and I'm not stopping here

All these old songs take me back
Summer nights with my best friends
Walking through a town that never
Cut us any slack

I've always had this scary feeling
That everything good in my life
Will be gone by the time I wake up
I've had it too good for too long

What I wouldn't give to be standing next to you
A lifetime of struggle just to get where I am
Persistence, resilience, and a heart full of flair
I've made this far and I'm not stopping here

The things I thought I needed
Were just holding me back
I'm doing fine without you
I'm growing without your chains
I never thought I'd live
To see the day where
I'd finally get to
Be on my own

The things I thought I needed
Were just holding me back
I'm doing fine without you
I'm growing without your chains
I never thought I'd live
To see the day where
I'd finally get to
Be on my own

What I wouldn't give to be standing next to you
A lifetime of struggle just to get where I am
Persistence, resilience, and a heart full of flair
I've made this far and I'm not stopping here
