[Verse 1] A part of me always believed I must have brought this on myself 'Cause I'm not where I want to be And every time I want to change my life It just feels like trying to turn water into wine [Chorus] It doesn't have to be a world away I can hear the song like it's inside of me I know that if I get to know my pain I unlock a hundred different doors to better days [Verse 2] Though I take hit after hit I realise the higher reason is accepting challenges as gifts And through the fight I never really knew that I would find myself That's why I give my thanks to you [Chorus] It doesn't have to be a world away I can hear the song like it's inside of me I know that if I get to know my pain I unlock a hundred different doors to better days [Bridge] My life is what I make it I choose to rise and take it from your hands My life is what I make it I choose to rise and take it from your hands This is not my punishment This is my catalyst for growth I know I will survive this I'll be the strongest person I know [Chorus] It doesn't have to be a world away I can see the light like it's inside of me I know that if I get to know my pain I unlock a hundred different doors to better days [Outro] My life is what I make it I choose to rise and take it from your hands My life is what I make it I choose to rise and take it from your hands This is not my punishment This is my catalyst for growth I know I will survive this I'll be the strongest person I know
