My thoughts are such a jumble
They rattle, spin and tumble
The words I thought I said
Mean something else instead
The feelings that I’m feeling
Are trapped by a glass ceiling
And when I try to write
The words I want take flight
My life is so unknown right now
We will get through, I’m not sure how
My plans rock back and forth each day
I know that there will be a way
I don’t have to know it all
Or get it right on every call
I’m not alone out in this stream
And I know I can trust our team
Take a risk and
Run with it
Once you’ve chosen
Don’t back down
Follow it through
To the end
It’s okay then
To turn around
It doesn’t mean
That you failed
You always learn
Something new
You’re further now
Than before
Now you know what
You need to do
No one else feels this hurting pain
That pummels at me from within
No one else knows the sheer despair
Of getting stuck alone again
No one else hears the cries for help
So silent in this agony
No one else sees the deep regret
That this again is destiny
But I can feel the ray of hope
That warms me through the waves of pain
But I can know that I will rise
When I get through the storm again
But I can hear the bells of love
Chime faintly through the din of hate
But I can see that just one day
Does not determine my life’s fate
I can’t avoid the storms of life
Or dodge the rain from every cloud
But in it, if I listen, still
Hope will rise and sing aloud
When stormy waves wash high about my boat
The breakers roar and peaceful channels flee
When hope departs but for the lowest note
He makes for me paths in the sea
When storm clouds rise with darkness all around
The sun is hid — the course I cannot see
Though faintest rays of help cannot be found
He make for me paths in the sea
I see you walking off into the sunset
And I’m standing here alone
I see webs woven around you
While I sit apart on a stone
I see your ships all coming in
But mine is lost at sea
I see your doors open and close behind you
While I can’t even find my key
I know the facts are what is real
And don’t always match how I feel
I know how tempting things can look
The flashy cover on a book
I know that trust means stepping back
And praying I’m on the right track
I know there is a master plan
And I just take each step I can
