Speak

The closer I get to where You are there

The clearer I see Your fingerprints are everywhere

This must be a moment between bliss and dark despair

The louder I hear You calling my name

The more I remember I won't be the same

I'd run to the bushes but my feet are torn and lame from

Too many miles straying from Your side

Failing to fit in Your shoes

Too many miles trying to run and hide

When there was so much to lose

Break my leg if You must

But keep me close to You

The more I can feel Your hand upon me

The less I remember who it was I used to be

I look back at my footprints and clearly I can see

Not to put a strain on a stiff neck

By looking behind me

I've held these memories too long

Before I put them away

Let them remind me where I belong
