There was a moment when the world grew clear
I looked within and faced my fear
Realized it wasn't about you no blame to dispense
It was me learning self-acceptance
Gotta find the light in our own hearts
Forgive ourselves for a brand new start
Not seeing you through the mist of my view
But embracing the truth loving what's true
It's time to rise let go of the past
Find the strength inside make the moment last
With every smile and every tear
I'll forgive myself and hold hope near
Once I felt like a fool blind by the night
But those days are gone I'm stepping into the light
Not because you were free from all blame
But because I deserve to shed the shame
Gotta find the light in our own hearts
Forgive ourselves for a brand new start
Not seeing you through the mist of my view
But embracing the truth loving what's true
It's time to rise let go of the past
Find the strength inside make the moment last
With every smile and every tear
I'll forgive myself and hold hope near
Now I see the path ahead so bright
With open eyes ready to fight
For every piece that broke I'll mend
In this journey my heart will transcend
It's time to rise let go of the past
Find the strength inside make the moment last
With every smile and every tear
I'll forgive myself and hold hope near
It's time to rise let go of the past
Find the strength inside make the moment last
With every smile and every tear
I'll forgive myself and hold hope near
So here I stand stronger today
With a heart that's healed come what may
In forgiveness I found my way
And in love's light I'll forever stay
Keep shining bright yeah
