Climbing Mountains, Chasing Dreams

“Climbing Mountains, Chasing Dreams”

My Journey: A Story of Hope

A journey from darkness into the light (eternal)

“Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.”

– Langston Hughes

Song (beautiful) Climbing Mountains, Chasing Dreams by Susan Boyle

Susan’s story, amazing, can touch and give anyone (yes anyone) hope and inspiration!

All of my life I have watched you

Climbing mountains, chasing dreams

All of my life you gave me everything

But you don’t have to give the world to me

Just say you love me as I am, say you want me as I am

Say I’m someone in your eyes, that’s all I want it to be

Oh, just let me go, I know one day if I’m allowed

If I’m allowed, one day I’ll make you proud

All of your life you’ve taken chances

Broke the rules time after time

All of your life you’ve gone your own way

Give me this chance and I’ll go mine

Why can’t you say you love me as I am?

Say you want me as I am

Say I’m someone in your eyes, that’s all I want it to be

Oh, just let me go, I know one day if I’m allowed

If I’m allowed, one day I’ll make you proud, oh

I’m trying to please you now, it’s all I seem to do

I’ve got to be me now ’cause there’s already one of you

I’m on my knees so help me please

Please don’t shoot me down

Though you can’t see it now

Someday I’ll make you proud
