take 1:

i have been through 

the worst kind of weather.

i have been through

a lot of crossroads.

i am half across the earth 

where i am originally from.

i have survived

all the challenges of life.

and now that i am once again

in another crossroad.

but i know 

i will surpass this all again.

because i know

you are there

watching, guiding

and protecting me
in every step of the way.

take 2...

i will never ever be afraid
of taking the next step.
i will never ever be afraid
of crossing the desert
or the sea.
i will never ever
hesitate to go for my dreams.
just because
i know i have two personal
angels guiding me through.
