Ravine

Have you heard, have you heard –

About this girl who was ripped up

by her roots?

Have you heard, what she learned?

Like humility – you win when you lose

I have learned – I have learned

The most horrifying nights have ends

I was hurt, I was lost.

In the dark I found the way to a friend

I am standing here in my ravine.

Once again I see a piece of the sky

And my joy’ll never be denied

‘Cause I was meant to be here –

The only place on earth

Where you are near – where you are near

Was a flower, so frail –

And I let the trees grow wild around me.

Grew so high, hid the sky –

Shaded everything I needed to see

Then one night, someone came

Took a knife an ripped me up by my roots

Tossed astray, far away.

In my darkest night I started to pray

I am standing…..

Why do you, why do you ask

Why I’m not blaming my god?

I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you what –

He was the only one there

I am standing…..
