Someone else mentioned "It's My Life" by Bon Giovi, so I won't repost the lyrics to that one, but I like it because I feel like I'm starting to take control of my life now instead of letting fear control it.
In that same line of thinking- I'm starting a whole new chapter in my life by taking control and I have no idea where it's gonna lead, so I also like "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. (I actually prefer it as sung by the local high school's show choir than by Natasha. Their version is a bit stronger, not so ethereal. Disclosure- S18 was in the show choir band, but that has NOTHING to do with it... Honest...)
Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
