Grow
Malika Tirolien Lyrics

When I
At a point in my life

Was feeling low
Experienced sadness and hopelessness

I thought that I could never make it on my own
Believed I needed external help to overcome my struggles

I wanted something mo'
Felt unsatisfied with my current situation

Something or someone to save me--- from what I-- feared the most
Desired a savior to rescue me from my greatest fear

Yes! Loneliness
Expressing agreement that loneliness was a real feeling

Was always at my door
Frequently present and intimidating

But with time I realized the truth I hadn't seen before
Eventually discovered a new perspective that was previously hidden

My strength would keep me standing tall
Recognized inner resilience to face adversity and stay motivated

And all the ones I love would never let me fall
Acknowledged the support of loved ones who stand by my side

I see the beauty
Perceive the positivity

In every little things
Discover the good in small things

Strifefame can no longer blind me
Refuse to be blinded by the desire for status or success

Yeah now I see
Currently hold a new perspective

The possibilities
Realize the numerous options available

Of what this life could bring
Envision many potential outcomes for my life

I do the best I can
Give my all to the best of my ability

With what I overstand (with what falls in my hands)
With what I comprehend and have available at the moment

It's time to break the wall
Have reached a turning point

That keeps me separated
That obstructs my progress

From the version of me I aspire to be (supposed to be) (about to be) (i am now becoming)
From the best version of myself that I hope to attain

Everyone must crawl before we all start walking
Everyone must learn the basics before they can become proficient

Whether I rise or fall it makes me grow
Whether I succeed or fail, I will gain something valuable

When I
At another point in my life

Was feeling high
Experienced feelings of superiority and confidence

I was told there was nothing money couldn't buy
Believed that money could solve all problems

Too full of myself to smell the lie
Too arrogant to recognize the falsehood of that statement

Too distracted to feel the tight knot of my tie
Too busy and preoccupied to notice my own discomfort

I let loneliness
Allowed loneliness to take control

Become my guy
Became my constant companion and confidant

Until I realized only love could make me fly
Eventually understood that love was the key to unlocking my potential

So I faced what I wanted to deny
Confronted an uncomfortable truth

Let go of my ego so I could reach for the sky
Put aside personal pride in order to aim higher
