A Thousand Breaths I waited for perfection but it never cameI waited for honor but received his brother shameI waited for belief but confusion reigned supremeI waited for clear vision but I couldn't find my dreamSo instead of waiting until I died a thousand deathsI pulled up my bootstraps and breathed a thousand breathsI took what I had and turned it into something to be proud ofI turned my dream into art and my life into hope and love
