the jar

I wanted to run

I wanted to jump

I wanted a way

To get back my fun

I wanted to sing

I wanted to dance

But most of all

I wanted a chance

A chance to live my life again

Without my emotions dead

A chance to get the life

That a teenage girl should have

And I got it

Because of the jar

Now here I am

I've come so far

Because of the jar

The words that I heard

Through hot pink earbuds

They changed my life

Like any miracle does

A miracle made by three

Boys just past my age

A miracle that gave me a life

At which optimists could gaze

And I got it

Because of the jar

Now here I am

I've come so far

Because of the jar

Because of the jar

Because of the jar

I got it

Because of the jar

I owe my life to you

Dramatic as it sounds, it's true

And saying it's long overdue

'Cause I so need to thank you

I know you'll never hear this

But for me, writing it is bliss

So I'm forever grateful

That I gave you a listen
