You’ve faced every day

While trying to find your way

You’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

You’ve been shamed

You’ve been defamed

You’ve wondered who you are

While trying to heal every scar

You’ve thought you were alone

When facing every steppingstone

You’ve grappled with fear

Not knowing who was near

You’ve longed for a home

Where your soul can roam

You’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

You’ve tried to stand

While reaching for a hand

You’ve turned yourself around

While searching for solid ground

You’ve longed for affection

As well as protection

Then came beautiful things

As God healed your broken wings

You’ve longed for a word

That deserves to be heard

You’ve searched for peace

Your heart can’t release

You’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

You’ve felt a lot of pain

Along with stress and strain

You’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

You’ve faced several storms

Tried to break a lot of norms

You’ve wondered what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

You’ve wondered what’s by design

If everything will be fine

You’ve longed to fill your soul

With what will make you whole

You’ve longed for a journey

Meant for you only

Then came beautiful things

As God healed your broken wings
