lyrics

Came into our lives like a sweet little hurricane
Wondering if our lives will ever be the same
Not a moment too soon to save myself from myself
Needed a push to put my needs on a shelf
What’s the hurry, plenty of time to move about
You couldn’t stay still like you were trapped in side yourself
Not afraid to lose, not afraid to feel the pain
You’re the one to put some skin in the game

So maybe you’ve been here before
In another time and place
You have the strength to open the door
So much more for you to embrace

Don’t be fooled by those who aren’t sincere
In a matter of time their motives will be clear
So many roads to take so many turns and twists
Trust your instincts and your heart will not resist

Hold on to those dreams. Don’t let time wear them down
A mountain looks daunting, when you’re standing on the ground
Make a plan, make a move, chart a course
You’ll succeed with your spirit as your source.
