Today I began a journey One that was started once before Today I looked ahead And bravely opened the door Today I began to stop the storm That rages in my mind Today I looked into the world Curious, unafraid, of things to find Tomorrow the doubt may return And my courage may wain But now I know That the future can heal the pain Once I was so alone Felt punished for a crime But now I feet the sentence served So many years have passed in time So, today I began a journey Though there are still many miles Today I looked at the beginning of life And couldn't suppress a smile I still have worries and fears I still have guilt and doubt But today I took the step And one day I will be out. Today I saw the world again And felt out of place with the free But soon I will join them For today I began my journey.
