I Changed My Mind

I used to fear the open door

That leads a different way

I thought that choosing once

Meant I was not allowed to change

But life is not a straight line

It bends like rivers do

And every step we take

Reveals a wider point of view

I won't be chained to yesterday

When tomorrow calls my name

Only fools stay buried

In a choice that brings them pain

I changed my mind

And I won't apologize

The road I walked no longer fits

And truth won't wear disguise

I honor where I've been

But I won't stay behind

Call it growing, call it fate

I just changed my mind

Some people call it weakness

To dare a second start

But it takes a quiet courage

To listen to your heart

I won't defend my reasons

Or beg to be believed

My soul is not on trial

Just because I chose to leave

I outgrew what held me small

And learned to let it go

You cannot reach the mountain

If you fear the unknown

I changed my mind

And I won't apologize

The road I walked no longer fits

And truth won't wear disguise

I honor where I've been

But I won't stay behind

Call it growing, call it fate

I just changed my mind

If I must choose between approval

Or the voice that lives inside

Then I will choose my freedom

And let the rest decide

I changed my mind

And I won't apologize

The road I walked no longer fits

And truth won't wear disguise

I honor where I've been

But I won't stay behind

Call it growing, call it fate

I just changed my mind

I'm not lost, I'm moving on

To what I'm meant to find

Don't call it turning back

I changed my mind
