Turns
Navigating Life's Turns: Devin Davis' Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
Stuck looking back
Feeling stuck while reflecting on the past.
At a past that I couldn't get past
Unable to move beyond a challenging past.
It made me afraid
The past experiences have instilled fear.
Of the future I knew I could have
Fearful of a future that was within reach.
And then I forgot
Forgetting to appreciate the present moment.
To be grateful for what's in my hands
Realizing the need to be grateful for current circumstances.
So I opened the present
Exploring the present to understand the impact of the past.
To find what the past brought to pass
Discovering the consequences of past actions.
There were right turns and wrong turns
Navigating through right and wrong decisions.
And long ways around
Facing detours and longer paths.
Which ones were which ones
Uncertainty about which choices were beneficial.
I can't be sure now
Difficulty in distinguishing between positive and negative choices.
I missed some good roads
Regret over missing some opportunities.
But I found the ones that count
Focusing on the meaningful paths taken.
And I ended up somehow
Arriving at an unexpected but beautiful destination.
In this beautiful town
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the current situation.
I stared in the mirror
Examining oneself in the mirror.
And waited for me to appear
Waiting for personal growth and self-discovery.
And wondered for years
Contemplating the arrival of a better self over the years.
If that person would ever get here
Questioning the possibility of self-improvement.
But then I got tired
Experiencing fatigue and deciding to give oneself a chance.
And decided to give me a chance
Embracing the opportunity for personal growth.
Oh 'cause I'm not who I will be
Acknowledging the ongoing process of self-evolution.
But I'm not who I was last year
Contrasting the present self with the past self.
With these right turns and wrong turns
Encountering both right and wrong choices.
And long ways around
Navigating through detours and indirect routes.
Which ones were which ones
Uncertainty about the outcomes of past decisions.
I can't be sure now
Difficulty in determining the impact of choices.
I missed some good roads
Regret over missing some opportunities in life.
But I found the ones that count
Focusing on the significant and meaningful paths taken.
And I ended up somehow
Arriving at an unexpected but beautiful destination.
In this beautiful town
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the current situation.
If I'd taken the straightest and easiest path
If choosing the easiest path, one would lack experience and strength.
I'd be here too young and too weak
Being too young and weak if the straightforward path was taken.
And I would not have learned to maneuver these turns
Learning valuable lessons from navigating challenging turns.
'Cause easy's got nothing to teach
Easy paths don't provide meaningful lessons.
Like these right turns and wrong turns
Encountering both right and wrong choices.
And long ways around
Navigating through detours and indirect routes.
Which ones were which ones
Uncertainty about the outcomes of past decisions.
I can't be sure now
Difficulty in determining the impact of choices.
I spent nights on the shoulder
Enduring difficult moments and heartbreak.
My heart broken down
Experiencing emotional pain but reaching a positive outcome.
But I ended up somehow
Despite challenges, arriving at a positive place in life.
You brought me here somehow
Recognizing the positive influence of someone or something.
Thank God I'm here somehow
Expressing gratitude for reaching a positive state of being.
In this beautiful town
Appreciating the positive aspects of the current environment.
