Devorah Schwartz l Write My Own Story l For Women Only

Life can be a challenge when it feels like others have perfect lives and yours isn’t. Every day is a struggle when your life is compared to others and it feels like you’re the only one who isn’t moving on. This song is about having the courage and bravery to write your own story. To decide that your life is worth it to be lived to the fullest, regardless of what is going on around you.
We dedicate this anthem to the girls of @maayanacademy who’ve had the strength and resilience to be able to take control of their lives and write their own narrative, despite the many obstacles that have been thrown their way. The story of Maayan Academy’s commitment to the growth of their students is an inspirational one, and we are so lucky to have experienced the magic of it!

A special thank you to all of the generous donors that have helped Maayan Academy surpass their goal and bonus goal!

Lyrics
A perfect life’s not made for me,
Lonely times wishing what I’d be
Feeling trapped in my own skin
Where do I begin,
I’m buried in self-doubt

People around me have it all
Lifes too busy to hear my call
Why can’t I be more simple,
Right down the middle
Oh, Something has to change

Pre:
Everyone is moving on
While I’m still stuck in the past
But I’m too brave to write myself off
And I’m too strong to hold myself back

Chorus:
This is my life to fight for
Though It isn’t always easy to find the hidden meaning
I’ll hold tight, and live more
You can find a million reasons to look up to the heavens and be free
I can write my own story

Low 2
A perfect life wasn’t made for me
But I create my destiny
So I’ll pause in this moment
Stand tall and own it
I feel the winds of change

Pre:
Everyone is moving on
While I’m still stuck in the past
But Im too brave to write myself off
And I’m too strong to hold myself back

Chorus:
This is my life to fight for
Though It isn’t always easy to find the hidden meaning
I’ll hold tight, and live more
You can find a million reasons to look up to the heavens and be free
I can write my own story
