To Be Better

Break the hard chains of fate
 Roads we walk we create
 For our futures are wide and vast
 To respect and respond
 To add strength to our bond
 Cast the fury into the past
 I can choose to be better at last
 Through all the pain I've grown
 Warm up this old heart of stone
 Leave the hurt behind
 Tearing the threads of the tethers
 Leave the hurt behind
 We can choose to be better
 We can choose to be better
 ♪
 Crush the bones of despair
 In the jaws of the bear
 Prophecies may come to pass
 Keep the beast deep within
 Always under the skin
 Let it claw through the mirror's glass
 I can choose to be better at last
 And even a heart of stone
 Can warm when no longer alone
 Leave the hurt behind
 Tearing the threads of the tethers
 Leave the hurt behind
 We can choose to be better
 We can choose to be better
 ♪
 In this winter of woe
 Seeds of hope they still grow
 Sheets of white over rock and grass
 From contempt I have turned
 Now I'm just trying to learn
 Burning skies now overcast
 I can choose to be better at last
 Leave the hurt behind
 Tearing the threads of the tethers
 Leave the hurt behind
 We can choose to be better
 Leave the hurt behind
 Tearing the threads of the tethers
 Leave the hurt behind
 We can choose to be better
 We can choose to be better
