Used to live on the edge,
used to keep quarters for the bus
and always leaning on the ledge
never waiting to go bust.

Feels like only yesterday
when I had a dream.
The day when I would finally escape
way back to when I was a teen.

If I fall flat on my back
I know my friends will be there.
Nothing here that I lacked,
cause life was once this fair.

It was a long way home,
to make it here.
Look at how much I have grown
anything is possible when you believe.

Back when all I needed was love,
kindness was always unconditional.
Look at how much I have evolved,
it is quite predictable.
