I spent my life Looking ahead. Another mountain. Another step. Always believing The view was there... Just one more climb. I finally stopped. Turned around. The road behind me Was covered in light. It wasn't waiting At the finish line. It was walking Beside me The whole time. I chased tomorrow For so many years. Never seeing What was already here. THE LIGHT THEY PROMISED! WASN'T SOMEWHERE FAR! IT WAS EVERY SUNRISE! EVERY SCAR! EVERY HAND THAT PULLED ME THROUGH! THE LIGHT THEY PROMISED... WAS ALWAYS YOU! The laughs. The tears. The ordinary days. The little moments I couldn't replace. No trophy. No title. No finish line. Could ever shine Like this life. Maybe We were never Supposed to win. Maybe We were supposed To live. Not someday. Not after. Not when Everything was perfect. Right here. Right now. THE LIGHT THEY PROMISED! I FINALLY SEE! IT WAS NEVER WAITING FOR ME! IT WAS EVERY MEMORY! EVERY CHOICE! EVERY PERSON WHO GAVE ME A VOICE! THE LIGHT THEY PROMISED... WASN'T A PLACE. IT WAS LEARNING TO LOVE THE LIFE I ALREADY HAD. Maybe We were never Supposed to win. Maybe... We were supposed To live.
