The wind whispered words of change
She nearly swept me off my feet
A quiet storm of new life consumed my brain
And I found a need to leave
Is this all I’d prayed for as I knelt down on my knees?
Tears streaming down my face, I was begging, begging please
Let me learn and let me grow, don’t let me have all I am to know
I’m not tired yet, Lord, don’t lay me down to rest here.
My eyes, oh how they shined with thoughts of opportunity
To pursue the things I’d dreamed of, or so they seemed.
My heart, oh how it fluttered with the rhythm of spontaneity
A dance of new chances to follow my own creed.
The sun set on the old and rose on the new
Nausea swept over me as I said my goodbyes
A quiet storm of new life consumed my heart
And I fought off regrets as they came to life
Is this all I’d prayed for as I knelt down on my knees?
Tears streaming down my face, I was begging, begging please
Let me learn and let me grow, don’t let me have all I am to know
I’m not tired yet, Lord, don’t lay me down to rest here.
My legs, oh how they walked without sight of the path
Meander as they must, there is no turning back
My arms, oh how they stretched without a thing to touch
Reaching out for purpose in this aftermath
The ice melted away as I turned from the cold
Peace rested on the horizon with the wisdom I now hold
This lesson came hard but I see that all I’d asked
Was to grow just as I have, and now I know
This is all I’d prayed for as I knelt down on my knees
Tears streaming down my face, I was begging, begging please
Let me learn and let me grow, don’t let me have all I am to know
I’m not tired yet, Lord, don’t lay me down to rest here.
