Conviction floods my heart Bringing a warm relief I'm brimming with the confidence That comes from self belief
I was clinging tightly to a ledge Fearful of letting go And tumbling into the mighty river But now I'm with the flow
There comes a time for everyone When they must swim or sink I refuse to drown in sorrow I'll step over the brink
Leaping off the edge of the map Sailing in uncharted water I'll ensure I'll make you proud To say that I'm your daughter
Rest assured I will make it I'm too stubborn for defeat Passionately persistent in all I'll ready the fleet
You see I'm prepared for battle With my masters of Motivation My captains of Commitment My generals of determination
The troops line up inside my mind Waiting to do as I please They give me strength to carry on And live my life with ease
I'm further than I've ever been Away from you this time But don't you worry, it's okay We shall all be fine
My dad will miss his little girl And so too will my mother The person I will miss the most Is my cheeky little brother
It's not the time, I'm not there yet But time flies by so soon Prepare yourselves for my departure I'm shooting for the moon
A year today I'll be decided On where I want to go I have waited many years I finally will know
The understanding washes over Trust cleanses my soul This love for myself is essential For me to achieve my goals
I must be very confident Comfortable in my own skin I'll call upon all of my being To keep the calm within
