The Song Challenge
Why
By Elizabeth
Large fingers pushing paint
You're god and you've got big hands
Colors blend
The challenges you give me
Someone once told me that the road I chose was an easy way out.
That I turned my back on everything, just abandoned it. Sacrificed myself on an alter of pity.
I think I chose the most difficult path of all.
The challenges here.........
they are overwhelming.
Seek my part
Devote myself
My small self
Like a book amongst the many on a shelf
I didn't really gain a perspective on any of this--my past, my family, my future--till I'd been here for several years.
I won't lie...there were times, are times, when I struggle.
But for the greater good, the greater glory...
that's what I work for.
And it's worth it.
It always has been.
It always will be.
Sometimes I know
Sometimes I rise
Sometimes I fall
Sometimes I don't
Sometimes I cringe
Sometimes I live
Sometimes I walk
Sometimes I kneel
Sometimes I speak of nothing at all
Sometimes I reach to myself dear God
Occasionally, someone will ask me why I did what I did.
All I have to do is point to the sky.
For Him.
He created all of this.
You.
Me.
It's no sacrifice at all.
Lyrics from "Sometimes" by Eddie Vedder. From the
Pearl Jam album No Code
