Filled With Hope

What I see around me
Is not the real reality
I don’t know what to see
Who to believe, who to be

Around me, I see the night
Around me, I see light
Around me, I see a sight
Around me, I see what shines so bright
And I see I haven’t done it right
So give me one more try
And this time I won’t be so uptight

I’ve made my mistakes
But I’m prepared to do what it takes
To be crystal clear like the Great Lakes
I’m done with the troubles
And I’m rising above the fakes
So don’t let them fool you
You’ve got what it takes

You can be better than who you are today
You can be better than who you were yesterday
You can be better tomorrow
Because yesterday you weren’t half of what you are today
You can be better now rather than another day

And now’s the time to never give up
Because this time you won’t bite the dust
So bloom like a buttercup
Because this time you won’t bite the dust
And even if you do I can pick you up

This is the first time in many days
That I’ve felt good in so many ways
I feel like I’m on top of the world

I’m better than I used to be
Despite being me I’m living free
Your ears perk up when you see me
And I’m more than what I used to be
I’m better than I used to be
And I have a long way to go before
I can be the best I can be

The sky isn’t the limit
And it will never be
We can reach higher now
Recovering from a low blow
You can bounce back more than ever

What I see around me
Is not the real reality
I don’t know what to see
Who to believe, who to be
But that’s okay now with me

Because now I’m filled with hope
I know my back’s to the ropes
But I’m still having high hopes
Because now I’m filled with hope
