Focus on a new way A new day has begun for me I thought that yesterday was a bad day So I took my time to figure it out Whats the right way to live by me (So I'll find a reason why) [Chorus] All my life I've been waiting for a chance like this (I've seen horizons fall before me) All my life I've been wishing for your promises (I always thought I'd be a failure) All my life all my life I've been here Sorrow was the old way I won't subdue the truth From regrets and failure I arise To redefine all they expected of me In the meantime I hope you'll see You never stood by me (and now you know the reason) [Chorus] All my life I've been waiting for a chance like this (I've seen horizons fall before me) All my life I've been wishing for your promises (I always thought I'd be a failure) All my life all my life I've been here (repeat chorus)
