Don’t be where you started, when you die,
Afraid to strike out, frozen in place,
Life will not stand still,
While you find your courage.
The family you want,
Will never be,
Your children but a dream,
Who you never knew.
Join me leaning into the wind,
Hold my hand to control your fear,
And don’t look back,
At never did.
