In the shadow of the evening, with a diary in hand
I reflect on my past, on my time in this land
I have danced with the devil, stayed up till the dawn
Chose the thrill of adventure, no fear, only brawn
From taverns to love, I have tasted it all
No regrets hold me back, I stand proud and tall
This is my story, my life, my song
Every choice was my own, I have never been wrong
With arms wide open, I welcome my fate
No guilt in my heart, no sorrow too late
Friends came and left, some stayed for a while
But each left a mark, a trace in my style
Love burned like fire, so wild and intense
No tears for what's lost, just memories immense
This is my story, my life, my song
Every choice was my own, I have never been wrong
With arms wide open, I welcome my fate
No guilt in my heart, no sorrow too late
As the years slip away, and the days fade to grey
I stand proud of my path, come what may
Every fall was a lesson, each mistake paved the way
No time that was wasted, no dream gone astray
This is my story, my life, my song
Every choice was my own, I have never been wrong
With arms wide open, I welcome my fate
No guilt in my heart, no sorrow too late
So I hold up my diary, with a smile and a tear
Grateful for the journey, for all I hold dear
