Lyrics

Make My Own Day

All the usual suspects were out that day
The boss man bossing me all around, the nay sayers, they were all saying 'nay'
And to put the nail in my coffin, my ex called like every so often
To tell to me give it up and settle down...

I said
I ain't gonna settle, I ain't going down
I ain't going quiet, I'm going loud, LOUD!

Chorus:
Behold the 'Ah ha' moment
Its my life and I'm gonna own it
Gotta dream and I'm gonna find it
Its my cause and I'm behind it
All praise the resurrection
Gotta move in a new direction
Up, up, up, up and away!
Not counting on fate to save me, I'll be OK
Gonna make my own day

All the usual suspects were out that night
Doubt and fear tryin' to keep me down, talkin' trash, and lookin' for a fight
And to add insult to injury, insecurity was telling me
You're not worthy, you had better bow down...

I said
I'm ain't no servant, I don't bow
I'm holding my head up, I'm walking proud, PROUD!

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I used to think that life would beat me,
like a predator it tried to keep me from the sky
Now I don't need no one to save me,
Give me wings, or try to tame me
Watch me fly!
