"If We Wait For Our Hand To Stop Shaking"

When i was younger,things were a lot more different -
i was scared to speak up - for fear of saying the wrong things,
i was afraid of making mistakes - and scared of being ridicued,
i was scared of everything - my face and my pride were paper thin...

But now that i am much older, i find myself much, much bolder -
i throw caution to the wind - it bothers me not what others think,
i do what i deem is right - regardless of what others would say,
i speak up and be heard - the truth must be known, whatever the cost...

So, regardless of what others say - i'll have things done my way -
i'll never give up what is rightly mine - though the whole world objects,
and i'll not wait for my hand to stop shaking, and trembling,
before we open the door to happiness - or it will never be done...
