The hero of my story
I always knew that
I am the hero of my own story
The one who gets fame, money and glory
I always knew that
I am the star in my own broadway show
My life would be filled with glitter, glamour and magical snow
What I did not know
Is how the hero deals with pain
and sometimes is ridiculed and feels ashamed
How the hero makes a mistake
and sometimes fails to realize
what is really at stake
How the hero fails to see right from wrong
And dances to the beat of someone else’s song
How the hero feels like a failure
and a cast away
And does not know how to recover
So all he can do is hide away
I always knew
that I am the hero of my own story,
the star in my own broadway show
My life filled with magical snow
I just did not know
That life gives you many trials ,
humbles you and sometimes
brings you to your knees
Not a single magic snowflake is free
Everything has a price and a fee
When you are humbled enough
by the experiences life has given you
only then are you worthy to
play the lead in your own show
