Waking Away

the day i left you was the worst mistake i ever made
was ready to become something
i didn't need you dragging me down
thought your love just wasn't enough
my hair combed, nice shoes tied tight
was ready to conquer life
help unwanted i can do this on my own
and then i found myself wounded
tripping over myself, falling and scraping my knee
sadness fills for i know i've failed
why did i leave scared to go back
hoping you'll take me in with open arms
but also know the hurt i've caused
the breeze of angel wings
standing there a midst of lowers of every being
tears grow and orchestra begins to play
what a beautiful day, why are you alone
run child it's time for you to go home
wounded spirit face in the dirt
i cry out for you to take me in
your heart holds me close, and
i look up to face this world which so scares me
faith in you loneliness just seems to fade.
the man once inside now a child walking in your footsteps
hoping held leaves under feet from the trees of fall
listening to autumn's call
a deep breathe to continue on, fragile
depending on you Christ carry's me the rest of the walk
