You just resist me to make me stronger You hurry me so it can last a little longer And now you’ll see the grief you reap and place upon me And we’ll look back and see all of this quite fondly And oddly I’m out for the first go-around But I’m struck by the fact that your kindness abounds I’ve unwound, and I’ve found that the Light in the tunnel Is the water of life swirling out of God’s funnel Just be humble, and see that there’s more than just “me” Do not flee, or agree we’re all solitary As my plea, will you please give belief a reprieve And just see that there’s more than our minds could conceive? Life’s a dream, when we die then we finally wake up But for now we are here with our eyes tightly shut So it seems we should build a good base for our start Of the path our souls take that begins with our heart Cleanse your mind and your brain and your works and your deeds Be amazed as the Father takes care of your needs Take no notice when one of your wounds starts to bleed From the cares you were bound to you’ve finally been freed Life’s a seed, we’ve been given, and all of us grow But we start off so small, and want no one to know Our shortcomings we seem to just view as a foe And shortsightedly think that our flaws will plateau For the lessons that burn are the ones that we learn And we’ve grasped it when from all our ways do we turn And begin to let love be the one to discern Till the day that our sentence in life has adjourned
