Looking Forward, Looking Back
When I look back to looking forward
Never thought I'd wind up here
Looking forward to looking back
My vision now seems crystal clear
The years spent wondering
Have all but slipped away
And I'm settled in a place
Where at last that I can say
Never saw it coming; never thought I'd see
The day I'd wind up exactly where I ought to be
All the years of learning; never dreamed I'd know
The answer in the end becomes true control is letting go
Flip-flopped back and forth
Tween the doing and being
Teetered on the edge
Tween believing and seeing
Tried on all the roles and
Never found my place
Never felt salvation
From good works or grace
Never saw it coming; never thought I'd see
The day I'd wind up exactly where I ought to be
All the years of learning; never dreamed I'd know
The answer in the end becomes true control is letting go
I thought there was a part of me
I always had to hide
Put me in a chasm
Deep, and dark, and wide
Didn't need to run or climb
Or scratch up to the top
Nothing that I needed
To perfect, start, or stop
Never saw it coming; never thought I'd see
The day I'd wind up exactly where I ought to be
All the years of learning; never dreamed I'd know
The answer in the end becomes true control is letting go
Never thought I'd wind up here
Looking forward to looking back
My vision now seems crystal clear
The years spent wondering
Have all but slipped away
And I'm settled in a place
Where at last that I can say
Never saw it coming; never thought I'd see
The day I'd wind up exactly where I ought to be
All the years of learning; never dreamed I'd know
The answer in the end becomes true control is letting go
Flip-flopped back and forth
Tween the doing and being
Teetered on the edge
Tween believing and seeing
Tried on all the roles and
Never found my place
Never felt salvation
From good works or grace
Never saw it coming; never thought I'd see
The day I'd wind up exactly where I ought to be
All the years of learning; never dreamed I'd know
The answer in the end becomes true control is letting go
I thought there was a part of me
I always had to hide
Put me in a chasm
Deep, and dark, and wide
Didn't need to run or climb
Or scratch up to the top
Nothing that I needed
To perfect, start, or stop
Never saw it coming; never thought I'd see
The day I'd wind up exactly where I ought to be
All the years of learning; never dreamed I'd know
The answer in the end becomes true control is letting go
