We ponder which way to go

Cause that’s all we know

We reflect day and night

On what may seem right

We grapple with fear

Not knowing who’s always near

We wonder if we’ll last

As we deal with our past

We long for strength

While talking with God at length

We try to maintain our poise

Despite all the noise

We try to turn around

While searching for solid ground

We long for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We long to see

What’s meant to be

Before we reach our prime

And God arrives in the nick of time

We long for a hand to hold

As our story is told

We long for affection

As well as protection

We long to live better

Embrace life to the letter

We continue to travel

While trying not to unravel

We wonder what we can take

With every step we make

We try to stand

While trying to take a hand

We wonder what’s in stone

We wonder if we’re alone

We search our hearts

Where everything starts

We long for something pure

To feel safe and secure

Before we reach our prime

And God arrives in the nick of time
