Do Not Cross

My whole life, everyone tried
To keep me on a straight path
Doing what should be done
Following a script

A script that I didn't even write
Nor did I choose it
When I decided to rebel and escape
Hearts broke, I got hurt
But I found myself, I discovered who I am

Do not cross, do not cross
It was as if everything around me
Had a warning not to cross
Do not cross, do not cross

I read somewhere once
That it's impossible to see the island
If you never leave it
I had to leave to see
How vast the world was
I didn't need to limit myself

Do not cross, do not cross
It was as if everything around me
Had a warning not to cross
Do not cross, do not cross
Do not cross

I could be so much more than I dreamed
I could do so much more than I ever thought
If you limit yourself, your world will be too small
Don't let others write your story, narrate it yourself
You have the power to do so, we all do

Do not cross, do not cross
It was as if everything around me
Had a warning not to cross
Do not cross, do not cross
