Lyrics by melanie thornton

Verse 1
So long i've waited, patiently
Did what i was told was best for me
Blindly i'd follow, trustingly
And never question why
Unaware of the power inside of me
It was a gift of love that was meant to be
Something shared with the world, faithfully
It was my only dream

Chorus
No tears to cry, no sad good-byes
I'm spreading my wings and i'm ready to fly
No tears to shed, only happiness ahead
This millennium will be my time to be free

Verse 2
Through it all i have grown, no regrets
I can say i've learned my lesson well
The struggle and pain i won't forget
It's made a mark on me
But with all of the strength i possess
I've gotta go for the chance of a life so sweet
No doubt in my mind, i am blessed
I'm gonna live my dream

Chorus

Breakdown
No, no, no tears...
Oooh i wanted it so bad i could cry
No, no, no tears
But when i got it, it wasn't right
No, no, no tears
It was somebody else's vision of me
No, no, no tears
And now i'm gonna live mine

Chorus
