The Clearing

You came
Out of the woods, now you think its clear
The coast, as you feel so far from there
The times of the troubles
The moment of fear
Feels like the balls dropped, man, it's your year
The uncertainty of everything that came your way
Is replaced by the glory of this new day
I'm just saying that, but what do I mean?
Waiting for the other shoe to drop? No it's not what it seems!
You meet clearing in the forest on up ahead
The wolves are away from you, they think you're dead
But you just started living
Decisions, and making your bed
Preparations for success are reparations for failure
So I guess that makes you just a little bit better
Than you started out
But you're back in the woods, and
You're back to go ahead and settle the score
Though it's done differently than it was before
You cut a path through the forest that you know is yours
You trust the beating of your heart over all that chatters
Trust your instinct and you soul, it's all that matters
Anybody can handle the test of time
But it takes a strong individual to take his mind
Off the power he's gained from adversity and uncertainty
