She.

she wants to reach out but doesn't know how

because there's only so close that people allow

she's the one who cries out in the woods

her clothes are different, still misunderstood



she's the type with her head in the clouds

her eyes at a stare, in the middle of crowds

and she sleeps with her head in the covers

the warmth of her breath forgives all the clutter



because there's so much

running through her head

times she puts off going to bed

and she tells herself it will be okay

while the tears start streaming down her face

but she knows she has been given this faith

yes, she has been given this faith

to believe in each day



she observes people and things

watches each smile for the joy that it brings

she examines her heart and her mind

but it is because Jesus reminds



she likes the trees, rivers and leaves

it's refreshing breathing in the breeze

she wants to be all that she can

but her future remains, tight in His hands



and there's so much

running through her head

times she puts off going to bed

and she tells herself it will be okay

while the tears start streaming down her face

but she knows she has been given this faith

yes, she has been given this faith

to believe in each day



even when things don't go her way

she believes in each and every day

and she always listens as she prays

because Jesus sends His love like rain

to come and wash her face

to come and wash her faith

to come and wash her face

and say.....it's okay

it's okay

believe in today

believe in today
