I Saw What I Saw

I saw what I saw and I can't forget it I heard what I heard and i can't go back I know what I know and I can't deny it something on the road, cut me to the soul your pain has changed me your dream inspires your face a memory your hope a fire your courage asks me what I'm afraid of and what I know of love we've done what we've done and we can't erase it we are what we are and it's more than enough we have what we have but it's no substitution something on the road, cut me to the soul chorus I say what I say with no hesitation I have what I have but I'm giving it up I do what I do with deep conviction something on the road, cut me to the soul chorus 2x your courage asks me what I’m afraid of your courage asks me what I am made of your courage asks me what I’m afraid of and what I know of love and what I know of god

There are changes coming to my life. i have a job for the spring and summer. it is on a farm up in Leland. i will be living on the land in a one room cabin. working six days a week. it is all so exciting! today i was thinking about how i will miss my family so much. one thing i am happy about is that one of my good friends will also be working there. so i will not feel to alone. i am so glad to have found a job out in the country. the past winter was quite a hard one for me. both financialy and spiritualy. Thru everything i have went thru i have found God. Knowing this gives me hope that i can go thru what is ahead of me.   

This is the last day in my life that i will be 22. I am thinking of all the happenings of the past year. I have leared so much. i have found true love. I have come to know God in a way that i have not known before. my eyes have been opened. the wound of my heart is healed. the sadness that surounded my soul with a great darkness has been taken away. i see light. there was a fear of death in me. it has been taken away. i have met so many people in the past year that i have leared so much from. i have leared to see God in my brother, saving grace in my sister. there is a great circle, never ending, timeless. there is no fear or pain or any kind of suffering. there is only light. i am in and i feel it. For so long i felt like i had no home, i realized that i did not know my heart. i am finding out who i am and where i am and what i am. i know where my home is now. It is here, in me and in you. it is all around me. In the sky, sun,water,and earth, I have found that life is a dance. Before i took my first breath and after i breath my last, i will walk this path that is before me and take each step as it is given to me. there is music all around me. my soul is singing a song. it is so beautiful when we sing together. I hear you calling me.... i must go and run to you and find you where you are. I will rejoice in you and be glad, i will extol your love more than wine, draw me unto you and let us run together. I will rejoice in and be glad.
