Astonishing

There’s a life that I am meant to lead
A life like nothing I have known.
I can feel it
and it’s far from here
I’ve got to find it on my own.

Even now I feel its heat upon my skin
a life of passion that pulls me from within.
A life that I am aching to begin.

There must be somewhere I can be
Astonishing….
Astonishing….

I’ll find my way
I’ll find it far away
I’ll find it in the unexpected and unknown
I’ll find my life in my own way
Today!

Here I go
and there’s no turning back….
My great adventure has begun!

I may be small
but I’ve got giant plans
to shine as brightly as the sun

I will blaze until I find my time and place
I will be fearless, surrendering modesty and grace.

I will not disappear without a trace.

I’ll shout and start a riot!
Be anything but quiet!

Christopher Columbus! I’ll be astonishing!
Astonishing ….
Astonishing … .
at last!

{from Little Women – the Broadway musical}
