For so long, such a long time
I had it so trapped in my mind
With my head just above the tide
Waiting for you to be by my side
And as I looked around me wide
This feeling pulling me inside
I'm surrounded by hope
If I want to, if I want to
Ooo
I am my own truth
I am my own truth
And if I seek within, grieve and sin
Joy and peace will follow and I will always win
No more questions in my mind
No denying what is mine
Everything has its place and time
Here and now is completely mine
What I choose to do
What I believe that I can do
When I left it up for you
Deep down, I knew that I could lose, oh
I am my own truth
I am my own truth
And if I seek within, grieve and sin
Joy and peace will follow...and I will always win
If I seek within, grieve and sin
Joy and peace will follow...and I will always win
