A Winter's Breath Needing to be perfect while fearing I am not I do my best and hope the rest of me will be all right Knowing I am dying and that no matter what As I ascend in pleasure to descend in pain again Living to remember all those things I forgot When I was young and ignorant though it may seem in vain l have to keep looking until I see the light In a circle again I begin to see my end The light saw me before I was as once I used to know Has been with me always all the places I may go My ending my beginning my turning to transcend While needing to go nowhere as I look and I see I had to keep looking until I saw the light Having looked everywhere else but here inside of me All for now and always mine for here and everywhere If only for the warming coming after being cold If only for the loving getting better getting old And I know who I am now and I came here to do good The son and grandson of the ones who did the best they could As I have done and I will do as I am called to sing for you That when I disappear you may remember I was there If only for a winter's breath suspended in the air +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
