No more wasted time

No more time for doubt

You say you’re not sure you’re a hero?

It’s time you should find out

So say you’ve made a few mistakes

Heroes know that’s what it takes

To find their way

No more wasted time

Not one more day

Where are you most able to be your true self? Your place of freedom might be far across the globe or in your own backyard.
