So long I've waited, patiently

Did what I was told was best for me

Blindly I'd follow, trustingly

And never question why

Unaware of the power inside of me

It was a gift of love that was meant to be

Something shared with the world, faithfully

It was my only dream



No tears to cry,

No sad goodbyes

I'm spreading my wings and I'm ready to fly

No tears to shed,

Only happiness ahead

This millennium will be my time to be free



Through it all I have grown, no regrets

I can say I've learned my lesson well

The struggle and pain I won't forget

It's made a mark on me

But with all of the strength I possess

I've gotta go for the chance of a life so sweet

No doubt in my mind, I am blessed

I'm gonna live my dream



No, no, no tears...

Oooh I wanted it so bad I could cry

No, no, no tears

But when I got it, it wasnt right

No, no, no tears

It was somebody else's vision of me

No, no, no tears

And now I'm gonna live mine
