In a year long

I'll be laughing in the hot sun
When this is all gone
In a year long
This will be my song
I'll  finally feel strong

Today I might ache
But it will not stay
Tomorrow, I'll be okay
And one day, I pray
It'll go forever away

I'll be laughing in the hot sun
When this is all gone
In a year long
This will be my song
I'll finally feel strong

Yesterday was scary
My head tried to hurt me
But in the distant future , I see
A time where my mind, will be free
And I will finally, breathe

I'll be laughing in the hot sun
When this is all gone
In a year long
This will be my song
I'll finally feel strong

My past haunts me daily
Some people even hate me
But I won't let this phase me
The lies they base it on, are shaky
It won't matter when I'm eighty

I'll be laughing in the hot sun
When this is all gone
In a year long
This will be my song
I'll finally feel strong

Life will never beat me down
Peace within myself, I have found
Although to this body,  I am bound
It'll never have my spirit, drowned

I'll be laughing in the hot sun
When this is all gone
In a year long
This will be my song
I'll finally feel strong

Love hasn't treated me nicely
But now I have finally, found him
He treats me most kindly
And truly makes me believe
In this life, I can be free

I'll be laughing in the hot sun
When this is all gone
In a year long
This will be my song
I'll finally feel strong

With these people by my side
Life finally feels right
I still struggle,  I won't deny
But I smile more than cry
So into the future I shall dive
With these people by my side

I'll be laughing in the hot sun
When this is all gone
In a year long
This will be my song
I'll finally feel strong

Today I might ache
But it will not stay
Tomorrow, I'll be okay
And one day, I pray
It'll go forever away

I'll be laughing in the hot sun
When this is all gone
In a year long
This will be my song
I'll finally feel strong

I particularly liked the repetition of the first verse. Very effective sounds great when read out loud. It has a lyrical quality which I love. ?
