Close Call
The drums were banging as
The executioner was looming
Hiding was impossible as
He could always find me
It was then that I could feel him
Standing next to me
He said come over this way
I can keep you safe
I can’t hide you forever
I can’t drag you along
But if you’re stuck and hurting
I’ll be here to push you on
He was my guide as I started to walk
Even waited when I was unsure
How much I want to do for him
But don’t know how or where or when
I’m sure you’ll tell me one time
I’ll just have to wait
Patience is a virtue
And can keep you in faith
