Just a Chapter

I woke up to the echoes of dreams that slipped away Chasing shadows in the twilight Where hope began to fray I built my castle on the sand Watched it crumble in the tide With every step i stumbled I lost a piece of pride But failures just a chapter Not the end of the book Every scar a story If you dare to take a look I'll gather up my pieces And i'll learn to stand tall From the ashes of my heart I'll rise above it all I painted skies with color That faded into gray Thought i'd found my compass But i lost my way The whispers of the doubters They echoed in my mind But in the depths of darkness A spark i had to find Cause failures just a chapter Not the end of the book Every scar a story If you dare to take a look I'll gather up my pieces And i'll learn to stand tall From the ashes of my heart I'll rise above it all Every tear i've shed Every night i've cried Has carved the strength within me I won't run or hide I'll turn my wounds to wisdom Let the fire guide my way With every step i take I'm stronger every day Cause failures just a chapter Not the end of the book Every scar a story If you dare to take a look I'll gather up my pieces And i'll learn to stand tall From the ashes of my heart I'll rise above it all So here's to all the missteps The lessons that i've learned With every fall i've taken A brighter flame has burned I'll write my own redemption With courage in my soul From the Depths of failure I'll emerge and be whole
