My Past is Not Today

Power was all I desired

But all that grew inside me was the darkness I acquired

When I began to fall and I lost the path ahead

That's when your friendship found me and it lifted me instead

Like a phoenix burning bright in the sky

I'll show there's another side to me you can't deny

I may not know what the future holds, but hear me when I say

That my past does not define me, 'cause my past is not today

Ambition is what I believed

Would be the only way to set me free

But when it disappeared and I found myself alone

That's when you came and got me, and it felt like I was home

Like a phoenix burning bright in the sky

I'll show there's another side to me you can't deny

I may not know what the future holds, but hear me when I say

That my past does not define me, 'cause my past is not today
