Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song for my daughter's graduation ceremony. She hated school and didn't get too motivated until highschool. Then she decided to put some effort into it. She graduated in two years instead of four, taking her grades from barely passing to a 4.

Lyrics

Conquer The World

All of my life I?ve been waitin?
For a chance to fly on my own
Until now I was just dreamin?
But the time has come and I?m ready to go

And I?m settin? my sights
A little bit higher
Reachin? for my freedom
Like a flag unfurled
A brand new life
Is one step closer
And starting today
I?ll conquer the world

I?ve come this far on determination
But I want to be all I can be
I?m gonna exceed all expectations
Soaring higher than I ever dreamed

See those blue skies on my horizon
There ain?t nothin? standing in my way
I?m looking forward to tomorrow
Letting go of yesterday

And I?m settin? my sights
A little bit higher
Reachin? for my freedom
Like a flag unfurled
A brand new life
Is one step closer
And starting today
I?ll conquer the world
