Follow Me
WITH A PRAYER ON MY LIPS I CAME TO THIS PLACE
GOD HELP ME, I KNOW MY NAME BUT NOT MY FACE
THE YEARS BEFORE THIS FELT LIKE ENDLESS TIME
THE FACES I WORE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR MINE
WHEN BEING ALONE WAS ALL I’D EVER DONE WELL
BELONGING TO SOMETHING WAS A VERY HARD SELL
I HAD TO GO INSIDE WHERE IT ALL STARTED
TO THE BEGINNING WHERE MY HEART IS
FOLLOW ME INTO THE CIRCLE OF PRAYER
TELL ME YOUR SECRETS I’LL SHARE YOUR FEAR
PUSH THROUGH THE FOG DAY AFTER DAY
YOU DON’T NEED TO SEE, JUST FEEL THE WAY
I SHARED MY TROUBLES AND WAS FINALLY FREE
TO FIND OUT WHAT I WAS MEANT TO SEE
CHANGING EVERYTHING ISN’T EASY THESE DAYS
I SOMETIMES RESORT TO OLD FAMILIAR WAYS
AND IN THE MIDST OF ANY FEAR AND SORROW
MY HEART BREATHES LIFE INTO TOMORROW
TOMORROW IS WHERE I LOOK TODAY
FOG HAS LIFTED, I SEE THE WAY
SO FOLLOW ME INTO THE CIRCLE, MY FRIEND
TO A PLACE WHERE HEARTS ARE SAID TO MEND
A ROOM WITH A VIEW OF A LONG AGO TIME
A FUTURE WITH DREAMS AND SWEET NURSERY RHYMES
MY HOPE FOR YOU NOW IS THE SAME HOPE AS MINE
TO KNOW YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN STRONG, BEAUTIFUL AND KIND.
