This time it’s different
And you wonder how I know
This time is different
and it’s not because I have all of my ducks
neatly lined in a row
This time it’s different
because I am different
The decisions I make
not just aligned
with what’s at stake
This time it’s different
for it’s a decision I made
not determined by some well-worn path
that’s already been laid
But because of my own determination
to finally leave that old crusty station
With broken-down beliefs
that no longer hold weight
And not needing the validation of others
to determine I’m great
No, this time it’s different
because I say that it is
And I don’t have to be a pro
or some Super Wiz
I just get to decide
to forge a new fate
To say goodbye to the old
and hop on my clean slate
