I remember that day clearly
Where we thought that it was crashing down
The day silently turned to night
Revealing the night time sky
We questioned ourselves
How did we make it so far?
Despite the past
We kept marching on
The earth began to shake
Depression started to wrap its arms
Around our body and soul
Enslaving us and putting chains on
As tears started running down our face
The stars began to fall like snow
Did we ever take the time
To take one last look in the broken mirror
All the painful reminders of the past
Staring us down relentlessly
Did we ever realize
That the past does not define us
That time will eventually heal the wounds
We have become much stronger
Than when we first started
We’ve gotten so much farther than we realized
It was then where we took our first step
Towards a new life
And a step forward on leaving the past behind
