Verse 1 So long I've waited, patiently Did what I was told was best for me Blindly I'd follow, trustingly And never question why Unaware of the power inside of me It was a gift of love that was meant to be Something shared with the world, faithfully It was my only dream
Chorus No tears to cry, no sad good-byes I'm spreading my wings and I'm ready to fly No tears to shed, only happiness ahead This millennium will be my time to be free
Verse 2 Through it all I have grown, no regrets I can say I've learned my lesson well The struggle and pain I won't forget It's made a mark on me But with all of the strength I possess I've gotta go for the chance of a life so sweet No doubt in my mind, I am blessed I'm gonna live my dream
Chorus
Breakdown No, no, no tears... Oooh I wanted it so bad I could cry No, no, no tears But when I got it, it wasn't right No, no, no tears It was somebody else's vision of me No, no, no tears And now I'm gonna live mine
