There is a God and He is watching over me
There is hope as long as my heart beats
The only way across is through it
There will be peace, I know it
There is a God watching over me
And He will set me free
Tomorrow will be a new day
Anyway, I won’t waste today
Why did I ever stop believing
In all that’s good in this world?
When did I lose faith
In finding and keeping what’s rightfully mine!
How did I fall out of love
with the process of becoming?
Why did I let disappointments cloud my ray of hope?
When did I lose sight of my future, as bright as the stars I preach.
When did I forget that I’m as ready to take on the world as I will ever be.
How did I not see,
Hope is right around the corner;
Miracles happen without even asking;
And life is as beautiful as it can be.
You weren’t an easy goodbye,
But we agreed to disagree,
And knew being apart is how we’ll heal.
I close my eyes and it seems like ages ago
But you know I can still read your mind,
like it was just the day before.
I think of you and smile,
knowing that once upon a time,
You were mine.
I look at you and realise
I did something right.
You weren’t an easy goodbye.
And, though, apart we had to drift,
Our journey was a beautiful gift.
I found you.
When I sat by myself, introspecting,
You were in the reflection of the glass that I was holding.
When I walked the distance in solitary,
You were in the shadow that kept me company.
When the noise all around became overwhelming,
You were the voice in my head that got me going.
It was surprisingly easy to spot you in all the hullabaloo,
Once I knew what I was looking for was you.
You’re my confidence, the best part of me.
And against all odds, I found you in me.
There’s an oasis in front of me
And it looks so promising!
Being far from it is unsettling
Time is of the essence, you see!
There’s hope and wonder in the wait to reach,
There’s thrill and mystery in its trail,
It’s all glitter and it has got me on its chase.
It’s a place as warm as the winter sun,
And cool like the summer breeze.
It’s where I know I’ve got to be,
It’s where I know one day I’ll be!
I’m not yet ready for this moment to become a memory but I know I can’t rest.
There’s a greater unknown in the future but I have not even decoded the present.
I’m too slow to move on, too fast to get a hold on my thoughts;
So I’m pausing time in my mind, and trying to memorise everything that make this moment worth living for.
You were the moment that took my breath away; but I can’t ask you to stay.
There’s so much I want to hear; but don’t say those words, you make me weak in my knees even when our eyes meet.
You’re the dream I still haven’t woken up from,
the one I see even when I’m awake!
You’re the beginning to the end that I can’t handle
You’re poison to me but I want to have you anyway!
When I’ll look back at my life and see you standing next to me, I’ll know I was loved.
And with a smile, I’ll go back to where it all began and find myself all over again, without you.
I’ll feel the places one more time, and let in what I was then too blinded to find.
I’ll trudge the roads that I once measured by how soon they led to you, till they become the paths that I walk to re-discover myself.
There’ll be a faint remembrance in everything I’ll lay my eyes on;
And a fleeting warmth of your presence in the familiar terrains;
But I won’t stop, till I solve my quest to find the best of me.
Because I know I was loved, and you had a piece of me, but I want to get back all of me.
I sit and stare
through the window glass.
It’s crystal clear,
except it’s not;
there’s a blurring fog.
The eyes try to see something
that I still can’t find.
They wander, like aimless travelers,
on paths, near and far,
that seem to lead
somewhere I’m not.
I sit and stare.
I’m right where I always was.
