Katie-Lynn

Katie-Lynn, you've always lived your life out loud

You know that's something I have always loved you for

Katie-Lynn, this one has brought you to the ground

Katie-Lynn, we all feel we've let you down

Katie-Lynn, I am unsure of what to say

'Cause you and I both know it's been too long

Katie-Lynn, it finally came to me today

Katie-Lynn, I didn't take the time to pray

So all the words you heard were bouncing

Bouncing off of you

And all the lines drawn in to save you

Were just getting in the way of love

And did you ever believe what we were saying?

And can I blame you?

'Cause how transparent was I, were you looking at me?

Katie-Lynn, you've always had those dancing gypsy eyes

And a spirit that longed to try its wings

Petite ouseau, you flew into a clouded sky

How could you see your good intentions wouldn't get you by

But you could rise upon the wings of the eagles

If you would only choose to leave the empty way you live

Could you see, could you see you don't have to prove yourself to me

Let it go, let your pain finally slide off your back

Down at His feet

'Cause all the love He shows is just bouncing

And all the hands we're reaching out are just getting in the way

And if it's gonna take more to hold you

To show you're loved in spite of you

Well, how transparent am I when you're looking at me?

So you can see I know you've chosen your own way

And it's hard but it's the road you've travelled on

And I pray my life more than these words

Will clearly say that Jesus loves you

He's loved you all along
