Float

"And I don't understand why God gave me these hands
And I don’t claim to know it all
But he said it’d be okay, said we’d find our own way
And he will catch us, should we fall"

Vibrating in my memory 
invested in these words.
First time that I heard this song
I cried till it occurred. 

My name Kristen is derived
from Christ, yet religion I didn't get. 
I follow the path of fate because
it seems to me correct. 

Years of studying why I felt
this song was meant to teach.
Gave me a calm conclusion
that one should never judge or preach.
