Melinda

I walked the streets without a door to call my own

Through the heavy nights, feeling so alone

Signed the papers, watched a chapter fade to gray

But I kept the faith that I would find a brighter day

I used to doubt the woman looking in the glass

But I'm stepping out from the shadows of the past

I am a lighthouse standing on a brand new sea

Learning how to love the heart inside of me

Every broken piece is something beautiful

Driven by a hope that makes my spirit full

I'm spreading out my wings, waking from the trance

This is a butterfly's another chance

Growing in recovery, taking it step by step

Honoring the promises that I have finally kept

Keeping an open mind for what tomorrow brings

Melinda, you are ready for the greater things

Leaving all the fear behind the starting line

I've got a resilient soul, and now it's time to shine

I am a lighthouse standing on a brand new sea

Learning how to love the heart inside of me

Every broken piece is something beautiful

Driven by a hope that makes my spirit full

I'm spreading out my wings, waking from the trance

This is a butterfly's another chance

I survived the cold, I survived the fall

Now I'm standing here, breathing through it all

Kindness is my compass, faith is my guide

There's an inspirational fire deep inside

I am learning how to trust, learning how to grow

Leaving all the heavy things I used to know

'Cause I am a lighthouse standing on a brand new sea

Learning how to love the heart inside of me

Every broken piece is something beautiful

Driven by a hope that makes my spirit full

I'm spreading out my wings, waking from the trance

Yeah, this is a butterfly's another chance

Melinda, this is your beautiful chance
