I wanna

I wanna live like I have nothing to lose.

And love like I have nothing to gain.

And run like I have nothing to chase.

And dream like everything is possible.

I wanna speak like I have nothing to fear

And look in your eyes like

I have nothing to hide

And dance like I have nothing to worry about

And embrace being alive like I only have today.

I wanna kiss like tomorrow will never come

And say I love you like I’ve never been hurt

And trust the way like I’ve never been lost

And realise my yesterdays are truly forgotten.

I wanna spread my wings like

I’ve never fallen short.

And open my heart wide like

I’ve never doubted at all.

And burst into the bright mornings of

possibility like I’ve never failed

And breathe in my soul like

I am born again in each and every new moment.

Because we are. Because we all are.

And in that, I choose to live now always.
