no tears lyrics

So long I've waited, patiently
Did what I was told was best for me
Blindly I'd follow, trustingly
And never question why
Unaware of the power inside of me
It was a gift of love that was meant to be
Something shared with the world, faithfully
It was my only dream

No tears to cry,
No sad goodbyes
I'm spreading my wings and I'm ready to fly
No tears to shed,
Only happiness ahead
This millennium will be my time to be free

Through it all I have grown, no regrets
I can say I've learned my lesson well
The struggle and pain I won't forget
It's made a mark on me
But with all of the strength I possess
I've gotta go for the chance of a life so sweet
No doubt in my mind, I am blessed
I'm gonna live my dream

No, no, no tears...
Oooh I wanted it so bad I could cry
No, no, no tears
But when I got it, it wasnít right
No, no, no tears
It was somebody else's vision of me
No, no, no tears
And now I'm gonna live mine
