"How do I live when I'm not what I was?"
With grace and gratefulness. Stand tall for all you've been through; know the weight is off your shoulders. Breathe easy now, sister. Breathe, just breathe. The work is not gone; the yoke is just lighter. Keep standing, go forward.
"How do I live when I'm not what I was?"
With courage and conviction. For all that's gone, there still remains that which we can never lose. Remember, sister, He bled for you as much as for me. Stand tall, and don't forget the lessons we have learned. Keep up the fight.
"How do I live when I'm not what I was?"
With faith and fearlessness. You never needed a crown to be a queen; you need only believe that. Chin up, sister, your reign does not end here. Believe in a reason. Believe in a purpose. Hold on, and stand tall in that faith.
"How do I live when I'm not what I was?"
...
With hope and healing. I will stand tall in my heels; bear the crown in my heart, though it is absent from my head. I will breathe though I bleed; this time, I will believe.
