I continued to move on

Little did I know
A day would come
When everyone rose high
While I stayed down

I wish I knew back then
I wish I could turn back time,
I wish someone guided me
To walk down the other line

Here I stood
But here I won't stay
I couldn't turn back time
But that was ok

I realised
It was not too late
And started climbing up
To that golden gate

A few years later
When I looked back down,
a smile crept onto my face
Seeing how far I'd come

"But this is not the end"
