I’ve spent way, way, WAY…
Too much TIME in my life…
Tryin’ to make those around me happy…
While neglecting ME

I’ve spent way, way, WAY…
Too much TIME in my life…
Tryin’ to impress my teachers
Now – I learn what the UNIVERSE is teachin’ ME

I’ve spent way, way, WAY…
Too much TIME in my life…
Tryin’ to hold, and LOVE a man
Now I wanna love MYSELF – let us see if I can

I’ve spent way, way, WAY…
Too much TIME in my life…
Tryin’ to achieve PERFECTION
Now – I lean in a new direction

I’ve spent way, way, WAY…
Too much TIME in my life…
Tryin’ to survive in chains – a slave
Now – myself – MY SOUL – I choose to save
