I don’t want to face the pain of loving
Because loving means loss
I know what you say
But I still know who’s boss
And it’s not any woman and it’s not any man
It’s the moment when you realise no one can
Bring back who’s gone
There’s music in the song
But goodbye means forever and I know that it’s wrong
But sometimes I wish the other side of the hill
Was something I could touch with the force of my will
But life plays hard ball and forces me to learn
That as the axis spins so my life must turn
On the only revolution I’ve ever known
To wish myself dead when I’m only half grown
And surrender to the mystery in the defeat
I threw myself at the Lord’s feet
And he picked me up when I couldn’t see
I was still standing so it must have been He
Who gave in to the footprints in the sand
I needed proof to understand
That I do not walk alone when the forest is thick
I asked for a meaning and true love is It
Like a doubting Thomas with his hands in Christ’s side
I am the only one who abide
When all is said and done and the mists have cleared
Come out of hiding, He said and they cheered
For there’s more going on than I expect
They attribute the meaning to be my reputation wrecked
But they are unforgiven in all that they know
I walk in the garden and I must show
You all the flowers that I have tended
All of the fences that I have mended
All of the bridges that have been crossed
Though broken and bruised, all is not lost
For darkness and light, they interweave
And it’s a poor truth to say you believe
Come on forest children, surely you must know
He would not let you lose if you didn’t want to let go
Of all of the land that has been reclaimed
My God has shown me each one of you are Named
As the daughters of the true Zion in King
He is the nature of everything
