Echoes of Yesterday

I was just a child at four years old Walking to school, the stories untold Innocence and laughter in my heart so bold Little did I know what the future would hold They made fun of me 'cause I was overweight But I'm stronger now, won't let them dictate In the changing room, where fear would create I found my courage; it was never too late Ten long years of tears and pain All their words like pouring rain They pinched my chest, left a lasting stain But I found the strength to rise again Ten long years of tears and pain All their words like pouring rain The echoes of yesterday, they can't define me I've found my way, and I'm breaking free (what the future would hold) Through the darkest nights, I've learned to see clearly The echoes of yesterday, no more haunting me High school came, and they didn't understand Disliked me for my faith, in a foreign land Ten long years of tears and pain All their words like pouring rain
