broken little thing

broken little thing
let me fix your wings
you cannot fly away
and yet you cannot stay
abandoned in this nest
they say it's for the best
lost, confused, alone
dying to go home
no one hears me crying
they all think i'm lying
broken little thing
let them fix your wings
we cannot help you now
maybe they'll now how

redeemed

i raised my arms up to the sky, and, slowly as the clouds rolled by,
the tears streaked down and raindrops ran and blended with the blood on my hand.
the puddles formed beneath my feet, and all the angels began to weep.
my eyes were on heaven; His eyes were on me. i lost myself and fell to my knees.
then, down on my face and calling on Him, I begged that He take back all of my sin
let me go back; turn back the clock. i begged and i pleaded, "please God make it stop.
the pain of it all - is this how it feels - for the ones whom you love to deny your appeals?
i'm sorry i sinned and killed you again. God, please, oh please, take away all my sin!"
i need to start over. please give me that. i need a clean slate since i cannot go back.
the sunshine is covered by all of the clouds, and i'm still praying and crying out loud.
as the blood on the ground washed away with the rain, the clouds soon faded along with my pain.
my blood is covered by the blood that He gave, and i thanked God that even my soul could be saved.
i rose to my feet and raised my arms to the sky, as the sunshine beamed down and the scarlet turned white.
my eyes were dry and the puddles receded. all of my heartache and wounds had been treated.
He is the one who forgives everything, and taking it back was not as hard as it seemed.

live

wish i was there
wish you were here
wish we could make it disappear
wash it clean
and watch it fly
kiss your lips and say goodbye
pull you close
and smell your hair
touch your skin and feel your stare
slowly turn
and walk away
go back to my yesterday
die again
to live again
be full of life until the end
watch the days
and sleep the nights
make everything be just right
live my life
how God had planned
all the while hand in hand
palm to palm
don't let go
hold me fast and kiss me slow
smooth my hair
forget the past
live as if this day's our last
live it full
and live it long
dance our dance and sing our song
sing it well
and sing it loud
shout our praises to the crowd
just as i am
without one plea
but that thy blood was shed for me
amazing grace
how sweet the sound
i once was lost but now am found
now make me smile
and laugh again
the way i did remember when
when days were long
and filled with sound
and love and light were all around
my eyes lit up
and life was right
facing each day was not a fight
i want to return
to living that way
to feeling special everyday
please bring me back
breathe life into me
break the chains and set me free.
