Who Were You Really?
I woke one morning, still half asleep...
I'd seen myself dying.. felt myself weep.
I'd lost all my chances - and I'd missed the train.
Grief overwhelmed me.. as I heard a voice sing...
Who were you really?... What were your dreams?
What did it cost to stay.. and not burst the seams?
What did you long for.. and why did you stay?
Was it all worth it, to feel safe that way?
Tears overwhelmed me, as I realized...
The sun was a'rising, and I opened my eyes.
Light streamed through my window..“It's not too late..”
Fear turned to faith.. and I couldn't wait...
Who are you really?... What are your dreams?
What does it cost to stay.. and not burst the seams?
What do you long for.. and why do you stay?
Is it all worth it, to feel safe that way?
Who are you really? What are your dreams?
What does it cost to stay, and not burst the seams?
Now what you long for becomes what you live..
The dream in your heart - becomes what you give.
