New Beginnings

Reaching out forever
But falling to the floor,
Broken hearts and shattered dreams,
Always wanting more.

Crying out for something,
Only living in the past,
Driving out the people,
Friendships always thought to last.

Searching out the people,
Never wanting to give up,
Looking in wrong places,
Lives that always seem corrupt.

Seeking out the Faces,
Never looking up above
Drowning out the people
Trying to show you love.

People reaching out,
Trying to make you understand
Always trying to show you,
Your footprints in the sand.

You've trailed so far away, They d say,
From all your hopes and dreams,
Your life is slowing falling,
From what you'd hoped you d be.

Reaching out forever
Now falling so apart,
People always mending
Trying to fix your broken heart.

And the only one that matters
Seems so far away,
If He d only love you,
You'd have so many things to say.

Hope is all that' s left now
As all the walls have finally broke,
Crying out for joy now
As in your tears you soak

Forgiven, you are crying
Forgiven, you are freed,
Received the greatest gift of all
He' s all you' ll ever need.
