Wake me up, I've been gone too long 'Cause there's so much ahead of me All my life, I've had pain and sorrow And that's all I could ever see I sat empty, wasting all my days Waiting for a future dream And now I see that there's so much more When I forgive myself and just let it go So here I stand With my arms wide open With no regrets at all I've laid naked, with the past I've made And there's no reason for me to bleed "What-could-have-been", is a nowhere place That clouds the view ahead of me I made a sacrifice, to free my mind I've shed my past, and put it all behind me Now here I stand With my whole life before me And no regrets at all All my life, I felt all alone - on my own But my self-pity got the best of me Now, I've learned my past, doesn't have to be - my enemy And I'm the only one, who's in control - in control of my destiny And now I see that there's so much more When I forgive myself and just let it go Now here I stand With my arms wide open With no regrets at all
