Prayer

I LOOK AT THE SKY--

SOME CLOUDS AND SOME BLUE.

I DON’T WANT TO CRY;

IT’S TIME TO PUSH THROUGH.

I’M CLEARING MY SIGHT

AND MAKING MY WAY.

I’M NOT GOING TO WRITE

A SAD SONG TODAY.

I’M AWAKE NOW, TIME TO MAKE

PROMISES WORTH KEEPING.

NO MORE CIRCLING ‘ROUND AND ‘ROUND;

I’M PAUSING AND BREATHING DEEP.

I’M FINDING MY PLACE.

THIS PATH FEELS SO NEW.

I’LL WALK IT WITH GRACE,

ENJOYING THE VIEW.

I’M GAINING REAL SPEED;

I’M MOVING ALONG.

AND SO I DON’T NEED

TO WRITE A SAD SONG.

LOOKING BACK, NOT LIVING NOW;

TIME IS ALL I’M LOSING.

WATCH ME MAKE A HAPPY ROAD;

TODAY IS THE PLACE I CHOOSE.

MY HEART WILL HEAL.

I CAN’T SAY WHEN.

BUT I WON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.

I’LL FIND MY WAY,

PICK UP MY PEN.

AND I WON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.

REPEAT THIS PRAYER,

AND SAY AMEN:

I WILL NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.

NO.

NO.

NO.

COME LOOK IN MY EYES--

THEY’RE FINALLY CLEAR.

NO MORE TO REVISE;

I’M GLAD TO BE HERE.

BEGINNINGS ARE GOOD,

AND ENDINGS NOT BAD.

IT’S TIME NOW TO WRITE

A SONG THAT’S NOT SAD.
