Nobody can take you back
to where you used to be
Nobody can pull you back
somewhere else you want to be
Every single detail of your life,
with loving eyes God sees
Though you may not.
Every time you feel
that you are lost
Every moment you lose
What you think matters most
Just look back to where you’ve been,
Take a second look at what you’ve seen.
All these years,
He’s been the same to me
All this time, I’ve wandered selfishly
Here, now at this point of my life
I look ahead, I see you
I look behind, I saw you
I look around, I see traces of you
With wings of love, you hovered me.
With wings of time, you brought me here.
With these wings of mine,
you make me fly
At last, in liberty.
