In My Way

I've been the golden child Studious and obedient And I've been the lost cause Wandering with the wailing wind But on both sides of that same token There's a power I've always owned And it lives inside of me I tripped and fell Many of those rocks I placed myself And loud was the shame But through it all my passion will remain Because to the life I want, I have the key Nothing's standing in my way but me I've tried to please Contorting and twisting to put them at ease And I've been free Forging a different path Marching to my own beat But whether mountain or valley The bedrock was always me I'm either my friend or enemy I tripped and fell Many of those rocks I placed myself And loud was the shame But through it all my passion will remain Because to the life I want, I have the key Nothing's standing in my way but me I've sabotaged myself Afraid of the cards I've been dealt But it's time to take charge of my dreams Through life I've been mistreated But I will not be defeated I will fulfill my destiny The power lies in me I tripped and fell Many of those rocks I placed myself And loud was the shame But through it all my passion will remain Because to the life I want, I have the key Nothing's standing in my way but Me I tripped and fell Many of those rocks I placed myself And loud was the shame But through it all my passion will remain Because to the life I want, I have the key Nothing's standing in my way but me Nothing's standing in my way but me Nothing's standing in my way but me No, nothing's standing in my way but me Nothin's standing in my way but me No, nothing's standing in my way but me Oh, nothing's standing in my way but me
