Finding Myself

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



Yeah, here I go, diving deep within

If I chased the horizon
Would I find my peace?
Would I stumble and falter?
Find my way

These challenges that I face
Lead me to rediscover my space
Rediscover my space

Finding myself is a journey
Takes so much bravery
Finding myself is a journey
Takes so much bravery

I will gift you stories
From deep within my soul (oh yes, I have)
Of battles and of glories
I have crossed the stormy seas, seen it all
You better believe

These lessons that I've learned
Guide me as the world does turn
As the world does turn

Finding myself is a journey
Takes so much bravery
Finding myself is a journey
Takes so much bravery

I will stand on my own
Even in darkness, even alone
Oh, it's a revelation
With each step, I find my true home

Finding myself is a journey
Oh, it takes, it takes bravery
Finding myself is a journey
Oh, yes, it takes so much bravery

Finding myself is a journey
So brave
Finding myself is a journey
It takes so much bravery

Finding myself is a journey
Finding myself is a journey (Rediscovering every layer)
It takes so much bravery

Finding myself is a journey.
