Sad

---

**Verse 1:**

44 years, I've been the one,

Always bending, always on the run.

Putting others first, my needs behind,

In this race, I've lost my mind.

**Chorus:**

But now it's time, to take my place,

No more running in this endless race.

My time, my heart, my soul to keep,

No more bending, no more weep.

**Verse 2:**

Every dollar, every hour spent,

On everyone else, my heart's lament.

Now I stand, it's my turn to shine,

This place is mine, this life is mine.

**Chorus:**

But now it's time, to take my place,

No more running in this endless race.

My time, my heart, my soul to keep,

No more bending, no more weep.

**Bridge:**

I’ll rise above, I’ll find my way,

No more shadows, no more gray.

This is my song, my voice, my fight,

I’ll take my stand, I’ll find my light.

**Chorus:**

But now it's time, to take my place,

No more running in this endless race.

My time, my heart, my soul to keep,

No more bending, no more weep.

**Outro:**

In the quiet of the night, I find my peace,

Letting go of all the pain, I release.

Tears may fall, but they cleanse my soul,

In this silence, I become whole.

Shadows fade, as dawn draws near,

In the stillness, I face my fear.

This journey's long, but I'll find my way,

In the end, I'll be okay.
