CLEAR
Copyright 2018 by Judy Unger
Not long ago I was a child, then a young girl,
And now I’m even older
A woman so wise, but I realize
My life went by quickly, I blinked my eyes
–
When I grew up, I became sad
Life beat me down; I felt broken
Though it may seem a little extreme
I turned my life around, to follow my dream
–
I carried on; I lived with heartache
I was so numb; I wasn’t awake
It all changed, when I let go of fear
Beautiful music I could hear
I opened my eyes, life became clear
–
As I grow old, I’ll keep my smile
All of my tears, gave me compassion
I was asleep; my pain was so deep
I turned my life around; with joy I now weep
–
I carried on, but inside I wept
I cried for losses I could not accept
It all changed, when I let go of fear
Beautiful music I could hear
I opened my eyes, life became clear
–
I celebrate; it wasn’t too late
I turned my life around, no reason to wait
–
When my life ends, I won’t be afraid
I’m grateful for the gift I was given
I celebrate; it wasn’t too late
I turned my life around; got up off the ground
Happiness I found; there was no reason to wait

I decided not to use these lines because I didn’t want my song have a clear ending.
