Lyrics: Paula Cole. Courage. It's My Life.

That quiet voice inside of my soul
It's rising up again
Oh I know it's the time again, life is short
Gotta grab the wheel of life.

Indecision, should-haves, could-haves
will only rip my joy away.
This inner cross-roads may define me,
but it's the only way.

'Cause it's my life
And I am free
To live my life
The way I feel

For all the people who hear my song
Why not take a chance?
By keeping the child alive in our heart
There's truth and meaning there.

Trusting beauty
Truth, perfection

I'll never lead my light astray
Listen to my intuition
Gather up my faith

'Cause it's my life
And I am free
To live my life
The way I feel

Deep inside I know I can,
Deep inside I'm beautiful,
Tell myself I won't give up,
Tell myself have courage now,
Willingness and openness
Step by step and day by day,
Over time a thousand fields,
Will have passed beneath my feet.

'Cause it's my life
