I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve traveled a long road

While carrying a heavy load

I’ve gotten lost

Without knowing the cost

Naysayers doubted me

But I began to see

A different way

And a brand new day

I’ve stayed awake

Wondering what I could take

I’ve searched my heart

Wondering where to start

I’ve known sadness

I’ve seen madness

And wondered if I’d last

Despite my difficult past

I’ve felt heartache and pain

While wondering what I’d gain

Then I woke

I listened as God spoke

He made clear

That my destiny is near

He took me to a place

Filled with guidance and grace

It was a gift

Guaranteed to uplift

I didn’t focus on what I lack

Cause I was in the midst of the comeback
