Between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and
company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept defeat with your head held high
And your eyes wide open
With the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child
You learn to build your roads on today
Because tomorrow is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
And after a while you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden
And you decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting for someone else
To bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
That you really are strong
And that you really do have worth
And you learn and learn...
And you learn
With every good-bye,
You learn.
We made it final today.
I gave you all I had, you made your getaway.
All the love we once made
Turned to memories today.
I left the courtroom and went straight to the church.
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt.
Nothin' left of my heart; it's gonna be so hard to make a new start.
'Cause today my world slipped away.
We buried the plans that we made.
And tonight I'm alone, and afraid.
'Cause today my world slipped away.
All my friends say I'll make it all right.
I'll recover and start a new life.
But that'll be so hard to do
'Cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you.
Cause today my world slipped away.
We buried the plans that we made.
And tonight I'm alone, and afraid.
'Cause today my world slipped away.
I call out to you, but you block your ears.
I reach for you, but you step aside.
All that is left for me to do is stop, and catch my falling tears.
We once had happiness,
We once had bliss,
What has happened?
To make it all come to this?
We shared and we dreamed,
We laughed and we cried.
We smiled, and we beamed,
We failed, but we tried.
Although once we were one,
We now have become two.
But no matter where we go or how far we've come,
I will always, love you.
To the core of my soul
To regions beyond
What has been foretold
For days of the past
And those yet to come
For feelings that last
And those which unfold
I offer to you
This gift of myself
I know it's not much, except maybe to me
It has no real worth, but to me it's the world
But if you'll take it and guard it
And give it my love
This child of my being
That never shall be.
and I wish I could help you
get past your hurtin...
But sometimes, it seems
we just have to hurt a while,
and no one can show us the way out...
we have to find it for ourselves
when the time is right.
For now, just know that
it's all right to hurt
because I will help you
with your hurt.
It's all right to cry...
I will share your tears.
It is only through crying
that you learn
what it's really like to laugh...
only after feeling sadness
can you really experience joy
So allow yourself
to feel what comes naturally...
but know that someday
life will be easier...
it will be easier to smile.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happeded at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he quested the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
