At Forty-Five

I found myself at forty-five
Released from all the ties that bind
Not just my heart, but in my mind
I found myself at forty-five

I love myself at forty-five
Know who I am, and why I cry
Know how to laugh and how to try
I love myself at forty-five

I live my life at forty-five
No longer do I need to hide
Or live behind the lies I’ve lied
I live my life at forty-five

I found love at forty-five
Not love of man, but all mankind
Love I thought I’d never find
I found love at forty-five

I know my heart at forty-five
I know my dreams deep inside
See who I am and fill with pride
I know my heart at forty-five

I want to live at forty-five
I want to learn, I want to thrive
I want to grow, not just survive
I want to live at forty-five

I found myself at forty-five
Finally free and so alive
My heart reborn, my soul revived
I found myself at forty-five
