Rhonda

I looked in the mirror and made a new start

Shed a hundred and thirty pounds, lightened my heart

I fought for the woman I knew I could be

And finally brought back the best part of me

Now I'm wearing a smile that I used to hide

With nothing but love and affection inside

So take me as I am, or don't take me at all

I've learned how to stand and I've learned how to fall

My name is Rhonda, I'm happy and free

I finally figured out how to love me

I'm holding my ground, I'm standing up tall

Take me as I am, or don't take me at all

I walked through the doors of a brand new day

Found a job that was meant for me, making my way

I'm pouring my soul into all that I do

With a caring intention that carries me through

I got my life back, I'm holding it tight

Stepping out of the shadows and into the light

So take me as I am, or don't take me at all

I've learned how to stand and I've learned how to fall

My name is Rhonda, I'm happy and free

I finally figured out how to love me

I'm holding my ground, I'm standing up tall

Take me as I am, or don't take me at all

And now there is someone who's holding my hand

He makes such a difference, he understands

I'm hoping I found where my soulmate belongs

To share in the journey and stay steady and strong

But even with him, my boundary is set

I know what I'm worth and I will not forget

Take me as I am, or don't take me at all

I've learned how to stand and I've learned how to fall

My name is Rhonda, I'm happy and free

I finally figured out how to love me

Yeah, I'm holding my ground, I'm standing up tall

Take me as I am, or don't take me at all
