A part of me
Always believed
I must have brought this on myself
Coz I'm not where I wanna be
And every time
I wanna change my life
It just feels like trying
To turn water into wine

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

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

It doesn't have to be a world away
I can feel the sun
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

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

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

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
