My Way-My Life

Lyrics

Leutsavanh is the name on the page But call me Lisa, simple and true I built a safe space, a quiet sanctuary Never wanting to disturb a single soul But people kept walking through my open door Looking for a rescue, a hand to hold And with a kind heart, I always jumped right in But I forgot to save myself from the cold (Chorus) Now I am learning the power of "no" Protecting my peace where the quiet waters flow My family first, my dignity whole I am taking back the keys to my own soul No more walking over the lines I draw I have value, I am standing tall (Verse 2) I used to let them leave their heavy weights Right in my hands, expecting me to care For lives and problems that were never mine to bear Even strangers found a savior waiting there But kindness without a boundary is a lonely road Where nobody thanks you for carrying their load They take and they take until you fade away But a beautiful change is happening today (Chorus) Now I am learning the power of "no" Protecting my peace where the quiet waters flow My family first, my dignity whole I am taking back the keys to my own soul No more walking over the lines I draw I have value, I am standing tall (Bridge) I won't play the victim, I won't cast the blame The only one who can change the pattern is me As the days go by, I am growing wise and strong In the quiet life where I truly belong I deserve the best, I deserve respect My time is a gift that I will now protect (Outro) Free from the stress of a world outside Content and happy with nothing left to hide I love my life, the blessing of being me Simply Lisa, happy and free All is well (The music softly fades out into complete silence)
