A Better Me

"The most important thing to remember is this: To be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become." ~ W.E.B. DuBois

A Better Me
words and music by McCall Erickson
www.mccallerickson.com

My heart has no words
my eyes have no tears left
my mind done gone crazy
went off and married my fears
now I'm standing here with nothing left to tell ya
I'm standing here with nothing to prove
I got nothing to prove

I tried so hard
to make you believe in me
I didn't know it then
but the believing's up to me
now I'm standing here with a fire in my belly
I'm standing here with a smile down to my toes

I'm brave when I have nothing to lose
I'm so beautiful when I make no excuse
So I'll move to the edge
and I'll take that great leap
It doesn't matter if I fall
it's time to be
a better me

Letting go
has not been easy
but I don't need you loving me
for who you think I should be
I'm standing here at the end of who I once was
not sure yet of who I will become

I'm feeling brave
I got nothing to lose
I'm feeling beautiful
without an excuse
so I'll move to the edge
and I'll take that great leap
I don't care if I fall
it's time to be
a better me

and I'm not looking for easy answers
I don't need you to hold my hand
I just need some space
to be who I am
